Abstract

VAZQUEZ ORTEGA, José Joel. Action-research on human rights: its social representation in Urban Popular Movement. Polis [online]. 2005, vol.1, n.2, pp.101-133. ISSN 2594-0686.

This paper is presented as a result of a set of research-action activities and communitarian intervention pursued due to the interest shown by a local organization that participates in the Urban Popular Movement (MUP) located at the Valley of Mexico’s metropolitan area. The purpose of these activities was not only directed to support the work made by the Emiliano Zapata’s Popular Revolutionary Union (UPREZ-Los Reyes) in the area of human rights, but also to research through the process of communitarian intervention, the social representation of human rights and their relevance for the practices, symbols and daily ideals, in order to formulate a psychosocial and self governing proposal related to troublesome situations that human rights face in Mexico.

Keywords : human rights; communitarian intervention; educational process; social representation.
