Résumé
A partir de unos testimonios de vida se abordan los miedos de docentes universitarios colombianos, toda vez que ha sido un país signado por una fuerte violencia instaurada desde la colonización, transitada por la independencia y radicalizada hasta nuestro primer decenio del siglo XXI. Esta investigación abordada entre el 2010-2012, dentro del interés potencial de conocer los Lenguajes del poder y los miedos que generan y administran. ¿En qué consisten los miedos de los docentes universitarios de Manizales y Pereira, en Colombia e impactos en su ejercicio docente? Las conclusiones nos sorprenden, los docentes hasta no ser preguntados, no son conscientes de enseñar el miedo. Identifican que el miedo es un estilo de vida y, por tanto, no sólo lo enseñan, también lo generan y lo administran. Son portadores y parteros del miedo.
We deal with the fears felt by Colombian University professors using as point of departure some life testimonies, considering that this is a country that has been characterized by a lot of violence since colonial times, going through the independence struggles and radicalizing in the first decade of the 21st Century. This research covers the period between 2010-2012, with the potential interest of knowing the language of power and the fears it generates and manages. What do the fears felt by University professors from Manizales and Pereira, Colombia consist in? What is their impact on their teaching practice? The conclusions come to us as a surprise: until they were asked, the professors were not aware of the fact that they had been feeling fear. They identify that fear is a life style and therefore, they not only teach it but also generate and manage it. They are carriers and midwives of fear.
