Examining Territorial Peace: approaches from Re-existence and Communication. A situated perspective from –and beyond– the peace radio station of Mesetas
This article examines territorial peace from a situated perspective that both stems from –and goes beyond– the Peace Radio Station of Mesetas, understood as an institutional expression of communication within the framework of the Final Agreement. Through a critical ethnography, it analyzes how this station produces pedagogical content aimed at consolidating peace from the public sphere, while also revealing how its scope of action is constrained by centralized structures.
In contrast, the article incorporates the life story of Ángel Ríos, a social leader and member of the youth collective Zagales de la Sierra, to explore a communicative experience emerging from the post‑agreement context. This collective, composed of young people from various municipalities in southern Meta, transforms territorial narratives through art, audiovisual production, and situated pedagogy, generating processes of re‑existence, rootedness, and the creation of possible futures and worlds.
The study argues that both experiences –the Peace Radio Station and the collective– are necessary and complementary for territorial peace. However, it suggests that radio stations could benefit more from participatory methodologies, local narratives, and sensitive practices such as those promoted by Zagales de la Sierra. Within this framework, communication is not conceived as a mere medium but as a transformative subject of the territory: a social practice that produces meaning, agency, and community, capable of articulating institutional structures and everyday life in post‑agreement scenarios.
