Resumen
Esta investigación es de vital importancia para entender y valorar la riqueza cultural
de esta comunidad. La resiliencia afrodescendiente frente a la exclusión y la
discriminación, la preservación de sus tradiciones ancestrales, su identidad cultural
única y la transmisión oral de su historia son aspectos trascendentales que merecen
ser estudiados y protegidos. Estos análisis ayudan a visibilizar e identificar la
importancia de estas comunidades, y a promover su reconocimiento y valoración en
la sociedad en general. Se podría decir que la conservación de las tradiciones orales
y la identidad cultural de esta comunidad han sido fundamental para mantener la
capacidad de resistencia y adaptación a lo largo del tiempo. Además, el
fortalecimiento de la identidad cultural afro contribuye a su bienestar emocional y
social, así como a su capacidad para enfrentar desafíos y preservar su herencia
cultural en un mundo de constante cambio y globalizado. Estos mecanismos
desempeñan un papel fundamental en la vida en comunidad de San Basilio de
Palenque, no solo son herramientas para la supervivencia de su cultura, sino
también para fortalecer el sentido de pertenencia y la cohesión social dentro de la
población.
La presente investigación se llevó a cabo desde el enfoque cualitativo puesto que
el análisis que se realiza va desde lo particular a lo general, donde se interpretan
los símbolos y la realidad de la comunidad Afro en San Basilio de Palenque;
empleándose el paradigma Histórico Hermenéutico, por lo que se da la relación
sujeto-sujeto y se valoran los puntos de vista de los otros; a su vez, de tipo
etnográfico por lo que permite comprender y documentar las prácticas culturales,
tradiciones, creencias y desafíos que enfrenta la comunidad; y de alcance
descriptivo, por cuanto se describió si las prácticas culturales, historias y tradiciones
transmitidas a través de generaciones han contribuido a la capacidad de resistencia
y adaptación de esta comunidad frente a las adversidades.
Los adultos mayores en específico juegan un papel crucial en la transmisión de
conocimientos y valores a las generaciones más jóvenes, asegurando así la
continuidad y el reconocimiento de la herencia cultural de San Basilio de Palenque.
Además, la participación activa de los niños, niñas y adolescentes (NNA) en los
procesos culturales no solo garantiza la continuidad de las tradiciones, sino que
también fomenta un sentido de orgullo, autoestima y propiedad en la juventud
palenquera. La resiliencia cultural de San Basilio de Palenque es un testimonio del
poder de la comunidad para resistir y adaptarse a los desafíos externos,
preservando así su identidad única y simbolismos para las generaciones futuras.
Es de gran relevancia, pertinencia social y académica realizar estudios acerca de
esta línea por cuanto pretende generar una reflexión crítica acerca de todos los
procesos de preservación de la cultura, estilos de vida y autorreconocimiento. Por
otra parte, es sustancial reconocer y valorar la lucha constante de esta comunidad
por preservar su legado ancestral a pesar de las adversidades históricas y sociales
que han enfrentado. La educación y la inclusión son aspectos claves que deben
abordarse para promover una sociedad más justa e igualitaria, es significativo seguir
investigando y visibilizando estas realidades para contribuir al reconocimiento y
valoración de la cultura afrocolombiana.
This research is of vital importance to understand and value the cultural wealth of this community. Afro-descendant resilience in the face of exclusion and discrimination, the preservation of their ancestral traditions, their unique cultural identity and the oral transmission of their history are transcendental aspects that deserve to be studied and protected. These analyzes help to make visible and identify the importance of these communities, and to promote their recognition and appreciation in society in general. It could be said that the conservation of the oral traditions and cultural identity of this community have been fundamental to maintaining the capacity for resistance and adaptation over time. Furthermore, strengthening Afro cultural identity contributes to their emotional and social wellbeing, as well as their ability to face challenges and preserve their cultural heritage in a constantly changing and globalized world. These mechanisms play a fundamental role in community life in San Basilio de Palenque, they are not only tools for the survival of their culture, but also to strengthen the sense of belonging and social cohesion within the population. This research was carried out from a qualitative approach since the analysis carried out goes from the particular to the general, where the symbols and reality of the Afro community in San Basilio de Palenque are interpreted; using the Historical Hermeneutic paradigm, so the subject-subject relationship exists and the points of view of others are valued; in turn, ethnographic in nature, which allows us to understand and document the cultural practices, traditions, beliefs and challenges faced by the community; and descriptive in scope, in that it described whether the cultural practices, stories and traditions transmitted through generations have contributed to the capacity for resistance and adaptation of this community in the face of adversity. Older adults specifically play a crucial role in transmitting knowledge and values to younger generations, thus ensuring the continuity and recognition of the cultural heritage of San Basilio de Palenque. Furthermore, the active participation of children and adolescents (NNA) in cultural processes not only guarantees the continuity of traditions, but also fosters a sense of pride, self-esteem and ownership in Palenque youth. The cultural resilience of San Basilio de Palenque is a testament to the community's power to resist and adapt to external challenges, thus preserving its unique identity and symbolism for future generations. It is of great relevance, social and academic pertinence to carry out studies about this line since it aims to generate critical reflection about all the processes of preservation of culture, lifestyles and self-recognition. On the other hand, it is essential to recognize and value the constant struggle of this community to preserve their ancestral legacy despite the historical and social adversities they have faced. Education and inclusion are key aspects that must be addressed to promote a more just and egalitarian society. It is significant to continue investigating and making these realities visible to contribute to the recognition and appreciation of AfroColombian culture.
