PUBLICATIONS Study for the Institute for Conflict Transformation -INTRAPAZ - during the year 2011-in the departments of Sololรก and Jutiapa in Guatemala. Object of study: Profiles of Violence Units of analysis: Representations and social codes facts of violence Study area: Municipality of Nahualรก, Sololรก Municipality of Santa Catarina Mita, Jutiapa Methodology Grounded Theory
The proposal for analysis consisted in the approximation to the object of study from the grounded theory. The option for this methodology responds to the importance of the different processes of coding for the explanation of the phenomenon of violence as was raised in the previous recipe. The registration of the codes of the violence is at the same time an encoding, but this time interpretative, done with descriptive and analytical purposes. The registration of the codes of the violence is at the same time an encoding, but this time interpretative, done with descriptive and analytical purposesIn keeping with this methodology and logic the initial working hypothesis is as follows:
At the base of the different dimensions of the violence present in the study area, operate social representations through functional codes that mobilize violence but also actions could help to promote a culture of peace

From the outset was raised the need to interpret the violent events and the formulation of a theoretical proposal to identify and avert such codes from the culture of peace look in: h t t p : / / w w w. u r l . e d u . g t / P o r t a l U R L / A r c h i v o s . aspx?s=82&real=1
