Consejeros tell their history: geohistorical reconstruction of the localties through people’s speech

Abstract

This research aims to an exercise of geohistorical reconstruction of El Consejo de Ciruma starting the speech of its inhabitants. The central thesis is focused on “consejeros” can raise awareness and recognize their history through stories, their experiences in general, originating from the everyday. Ideas from Medina Rubio (1992), Cunill (2001), and Urdaneta & others (2010) are recognized. Elders recognize clues about their origins, such as moving the village to the site of Ciruma to El Consejo, and the importance of the fairs of San Antonio as a meeting point for locals through the realization of faith. The geo-historical reconstruction through local speech recognition fosters communities in its report that generates a sense of belonging in view of social cohesion for sustainable living in a globalized world.
