The public libraries of Columbia need to situate themselves as places for inclusion, social cohesion, construction of citizenship, and local memory as part of the post-conflict peace process. Colombia's leaders and institutions, including libraries, have an obligation to go beyond the laws and regulations to achieve the vision of the future that has emerged from the negotiations in Havana, Cuba. There are actions that can be undertaken by libraries to promote social transformation at this historic time. Libraries are territories of peace, where librarians can undertake initiatives that build on citizens' dreams of a prosperous future.

From a qualitative research exercise conducted in the municipality of San Carlos, Antioquia on the meanings that the communities have been built around the peace process between the Government and FARC, is what the participants believe that peace has been captured by the State, the media, and some economic sectors in favor of the extractive development (mining and energy). This has led to set up a peace that is built from above, which is manipulated, which does not obey the interests of peasants and victims, which
fails to transform the structural conditions, which are at the basis of the emergence of the armed conflict and which do not enable the active and real participation of citizens. At the psychosocial level, this capture has given rise to the construction of a collective emotional orientatio of distrus and indignation with the peace process, which is established in political control instruments since it disables the collective action, promotes hopelessness, fatalism, and apathy of citizens.

This article presents the often overlooked interdisciplinary field of Peace Studies with a focus on its historical
evolution since its emergence in the early 20th century. For this purpose, it first overviews its major institutional developments identifying four stages in this evolution: origins (1914-1945), institutionalisation (1945-1970), discipline development (1970-1990), discipline consolidation (from 1990 onwards). Second, it identifies six major lines of inquiry / features within the debates that have defined the discipline: approaching violence and promoting peace; necessity of an interdisciplinary approach; peaceful and non-violent management of conflicts; global and multi- cultural focus; balance between scientific analysis and normative engagement; relation between academic and practical purposes. Finally, it reviews the contemporary agenda of Peace Studies, identifying the current trends in the discipline.

The Ecumenical Committee for Peace (MEP) made its roots in this prophecy that has continued to move theological thinking, solidarity action, social commitment and liberating political audacity in pastoral and missionary practice of the Christian history of Latin America.

To think today a pedagogy that asks for peace seems to be a matter of conjuncture, a stomach response to current issues, but it would be pertinent to recognize that this
theme was already part of the "utopian anticipations" of the classics of pedagogy; Comenius, Rousseau, Kant, Pestalozzi, Herbart, Freire, among others.

We are witnessing a new cycle of violence and uprooting promoted by the alliances between multinational corporations and the state, through which it is intended to destroy nature. We understand the environmental problems and climate change associated with the
extractivist model. Therefore, in rejection of the notion of progress that has been imposed, we think that it is necessary to change the concept of development by the plans of life.
We think that the answer to such problems should be to work for social, economic and environmental justice, in the case of Oriente Antioqueño, Colombia.

Likewise, the absence of a historical memory, which allows critical readings of the country's sociopolitical processes, similar to other war contexts, in the world.
