Memoria, territorio e identidad: re-tejer el lenguaje para nombrar la vida desde adentro

Abstract

This article presents a spiral autoethnography that, drawing from lived experience, proposes a relational reading of memory, territory and identity as the foundation of knowledge. In the context of the 40th anniversary of IEPRI, the text positions itself as testimony and reflection, articulating personal trajectories, collective processes and pedagogical practices developed at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia. Through the metaphor of the mochila, the article traces a path that integrates origin, rupture, recomposition and expansion, proposing the re-weaving of language as a political act to resignify reality and question epistemological hierarchies. Experiences such as Saber y Vida, the Red Intercultural and the Aula Viva de Saberes show how knowledge is embodied, shared and transformed in relation. Epistemological justice appears as the handle that holds the weave together without fragmenting it, and repara-action as the act that restores the bond between thought, feeling, word and action in the body and territory. More than a theoretical reflection, the article proposes a way of inhabiting knowledge that recognizes care and living memory as principles for re-weaving life.
