Abstract

ARIAS ALONSO, Sofía  and  TOBAR TOVAR, Carlos. The diagnosis of injustices for the social framing. An approach to the organizative processes of the Afro-Colombian Women's Association of the city of Cali. Dixit [online]. 2019, n.30, pp.54-67.  Epub June 01, 2019. ISSN 1688-3497.  https://doi.org/10.22235/d.v0i30.1794.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the organizative processes of historically subordinated groups that derive from the diagnosis of injustices for the foundation of a collective identity and therefore contribute to social framing. As a case of study, we analyze an association of Afro-Colombian women from the city of Cali who believe both in education and in vindicating Afro-feminine aesthetics to create discourses that allow them to subvert these injustices. Fieldwork and semi-structured interviews made possible the identification of the organizative processes that lead to the diagnosis and the analysis of how these result in social framing practices that allow us to describe leadership or agency experiences. The case study reveals the determinant role that the perception of injustices plays for the organizational process and the way in which the framing experience makes possible the appearance of communitarian agency practices.
