Relación entre comportamientos habitualizados – roles y su capacidad para generar construcción social y poder político en la vida cotidiana de un espacio público. La experiencia de tres grupos que habitan la plaza de Cayzedo de Cali: pensionados, vendedores informales y emboladores

Abstract

This paper focuses on the observation, description and understanding of thoughts, habitualizados behaviors and roles that are developing in the daily life of pensioners, street vendors and emboladores living in a vital public space, located in the heart of downtown Cali: Plaza de Caicedo. From an ethnographic perspective, the research process is intended to demonstrate the presence or absence of social structures and political power in each of the above groups, based on the analysis of information obtained through direct observation, semi-structured interviews and dialogues in space inhabiting the protagonists.

Using matrix systems of human needs for development, presented by Manfred Max Neef (1994) in his book Development at human scale, interested investigate whether pensioners, street vendors and emboladores, through their interactions, habitualizados behaviors and roles, generate social constructions to meet the needs of first order as subsistence, affection, protection and recreation (intersubjective political power), or their encounters also cause the satisfaction of higher needs as understanding, social protection, political participation, creation, identity and freedom (political power citizen).
