Abstract

PANIAGUA ARGUEDAS, Laura  and  MORA VALVERDE, Heiner. What do we do with fear? Dialogues between students and women in the neighborhood. Experiences in San Juan, Pavas, San José. Reflexiones [online]. 2018, vol.97, n.2, pp.55-69. ISSN 1659-2859.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/rr.v97i2.31777.

The article reflects on the - action research linked to the work with communities that face impoverishment. Some arguments are presented based on the teaching experience of students from the university communal work in exchange with the Finca San Juan’s community in Pavas, San José. Through workshops, human sculptures and the dialogue between women and students from this community, fear is analyzed in order to understand its origins, manifestations, related experiences, and possible solutions. This article evaluates this group experiences and concludes that fear must be studied within social relationships since it has an important role in the neighborhood’s social ties and festivities.
