Abstract
The armed conflict in rural areas of the Colombian
Caribbean deteriorated the intergenerational
transmission of ancestral knowledge and fragmented the
social fabric, affecting the exercise of collective cultural
rights. The objective of this study was to analyze how
hammock weaving in San Jacinto and Morroa is linked
to the guarantee of these rights. The methodology
used was qualitative, with an ethnographic approach
and case study design. We worked with a purposive
sample of 14 artisans, to whom we applied participant
observation focus group: In addition, legal documentary
review. Interpretive analysis allowed us to identify the
relationship between artisanal practice, the notion of the
historical subject, and community agency. The results
show that artisanal weaving constitutes a mechanism for
cultural preservation and the exercise of rights recognized
in the Political Constitution of Colombia (Articles 7, 8,
and 70), the UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of
the Intangible Cultural Heritage (2003), and the General
Law on Culture (Law 397 of 1997). It was also determined
that hammock weaving strengthened social cohesion and
served as a form of symbolic reparation, in line with Law
1448 of 2011. In conclusion, hammock weaving is a means
of guaranteeing cultural rights, transmitting ancestral
knowledge, and rebuilding society, with significant
implications for the design of intercultural public policies
and cultural justice processes in Colombia.
