Pai é pai devem se sentar e se entenderem: um estudo sobre as percepções públicas de resolução de conflito em Moçambique (2013 a 2014)

Abstract

This work had as main objective to understand the perceptions of conflict resolution in Mozambique from 2013 to 2014 and had the following specific objectives: analyze such perceptions, make a brief description of the conflict at issue and identify in such perceptions elementsthat permit torelate these perceptions to the type of Peace celebrated in Mozambique. Once there’s not in Mozambique a study about the perceptions of conflict resolution, precisely about the conflict of 2013 to 2014, I wondered about what would be the perception of conflict resolution in Mozambique. Thus, methodologically this research is merely qualitative. So, that is why I used Discourse Analysis based on information contained in speech found in some audio- visual materials that have been heard and transcribed by me. Moreover, the inductive method and the phenomenological were used respectively as methods of approach and procedure. However, analyzed the testimony I came to some constatations: the first is that the dialogue between the conflict parties is repeatedly proposed as a means of conflict resolution in Mozambique and, on the other hand, this conflict resolution suggestion is fundamentally determined by the type of Peace celebrated in Mozambique – Peace settlement - through a memory of a lived experience - the war of sixteen years and its "consequent" peace agreement.
