Resumen
Thinking or talking about territories, places or spaces has been
become fundamental when it comes to locating concrete and particular realities
that are still assembled to the dynamics of globality and
coloniality. Realities that manifest the differences between
ways of life of dominant cultures and cultures alternate to these.
Among these realities is that of a unique place in its diversity
cultural, social, biological and natural: the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta,
named after the West or conceived as Be nenulang in the worldview
of the indigenous peoples who inhabit it. The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta,
like other places in Colombia, it has been an expression of the paradoxical
situation that embodies two scenarios: the recognition of rights
ethnic and territorial in national and international legal blocks and the
adoption of neoliberal economies in Latin American countries,
bringing with it deterritorialization as a mechanism for expansion
of capitalism.
For the present investigation, deterritorialization is the process by
which the Nation and the groups of global political and economic power for the sake of
expand capitalism, break into the territory of communities to
convert it into feasible exploitation land through different ways of
dispossession, which weaken the political and cultural gear on the territory,
built by the communities from their worldview.
