En este artículo se postulan tres elementos que se consideran fundamentales para la construcción de culturas de paz desde una convivencia con dignidad y en marcos justos. La ética, la creatividad y la imaginación en conjunción dan pie para encarar y desafiar las variadas situaciones de violencia que se presentan en los constructos sociales, en tanto son realidades que entrañan graves oprobios para la humanidad. Pensar en un mundo más humano será posible solo si estamos en él activamente desde postulados éticos y mediante procedimientos que exigen creatividad e imaginación que se franquean en diversas situaciones tales como la escucha y el diálogo, al implicar respeto mutuo. Imaginarse en el lugar de los otros como categoría ética y al articularse con formas creativas permite aspirar a situaciones otras y diversas a las vividas, para lograr con ello, la construcción de la paz.

Thinking and culture are linked intimately in Arendt's theory because they are both in the public sphere. The absence of thinking makes the agents acting in a banal way. Thinking guides to exchange different opinions through constructed language by various speakers. This shows the necessary plurality required in the politic and cultural space, that is, the public space. Lack of thinking expresses drowsiness in front of the world and gives rise to overcrowding and causes unanimity instead of generating a politic skill which directs people towards the common world, to the world-with the- others. Culture and art should be long-lasting, in public sphere things are neither consumed nor used, because they are eternal, immortal. However, it seems that philistinism and searching for immediate utility has imposed on a categorical way through the mass society.

The purpose of this article is to think about voice in order to reflect on the reasons for the exclusion of women's voice in political contexts. It seeks to reinforce the connection between discourse and listening as a constructive path to social and political peace, especially from a feminist perspective that recovers voice as a central element for this construct and based on Adriana Cavarero's theoretical approach. The absence of women's voice from logocentric traditions cancels possibilities of resistance and separates voice and discourse, an issue underpinned by binary metaphysics that block plurality, singularity, and difference. From there emanate exclusionary univocentric totalitarian forms with the consequence of the emergence of violence. This voice in plurality demands a listening that is constituted as a horizon to promote the political space and the construction of peace.
