Autores/as

The present article is the second of a three-series collection of articles that analyze the power of language to introduce a new set of concepts in contexts where societies can foster peacebuilding in post-conflict scenarios. I build up on Hannah Arendt’s moral responsibility work to understand the need to analyze responsibility in transitional justice frameworks while landing it on peacebuilding discussions. The article advances in how this concept can contribute to fostering recognition, the role it plays in [re]building civic trust and, ultimately, promoting reconciliation. This study is motivated to find a way to engage civil society in the process where social grounds are rethought on respect as a basis. I present a proposal to use the concept of responsibility while suggesting a definition circumscribed to the context of peacebuilding during transition processes.

El presente artículo es el segundo de una serie de tres artículos que analizan el poder del lenguaje para implementar un nuevo conjunto de conceptos en contextos en los que las sociedades pueden fomentar la construcción de paz en escenarios post-conflicto. Me baso en el trabajo sobre la responsabilidad moral de Hannah Arendt para entender la necesidad de analizar la responsabilidad en los marcos de la justicia transicional y aterrizarla en los debates sobre la construcción de paz. El artículo avanza en cómo este concepto puede contribuir a fomentar el reconocimiento, el papel que desempeña en la [re]construcción de la confianza cívica y, en última instancia, en la promoción de la reconciliación. Este estudio está motivado por encontrar una forma de involucrar a la sociedad civil en el proceso en el que se replantean los fundamentos sociales sobre la base del respeto. Presento una propuesta para utilizar el concepto de responsabilidad y sugiero una definición circunscrita al contexto de la construcción de paz durante procesos de transición.

O artigo avança em como este conceito pode contribuir para promover o reconhecimento, o papel que efetua na [re]construção da confiança cívica e, em última instância, na promoção da reconciliação. Este estudo é motivado por encontrar uma forma de envolver a sociedade civil no processo em que os fundamentos sociais sejam repensados com base no respeito. Apresento uma proposta para utilizar o conceito de responsabilidade e sugiro uma definição limitada ao contexto da construção da paz durante os processos de transição.
