Metodología de recuperación de símbolos Emberá-Chamí a partir de modelos de gestión de conocimiento

Abstract

The Dojura indigenous community (Emberá-Chamí) of Colombia is losing its traditional iconography because it has also lost contact with its ancestral territories as a result of forced displacement. This article proposes construction of a methodology to recover those symbols based on Nonaka's SECI (socialización, exteriorización, combinación e interiorización) model. This is meant to systematize signs and resignify them so that the community's cosmogony in the territories its members currently inhabit allows them a sense of belonging to the environment. The article reveals how, through the systematization of this experience and different exercises of knowledge generation, it is possible to recover symbols and support a community learning process as part of safeguarding the cultural practice of bead weaving.
