Sentidos de lugar y movimiento social : indígenas de Toribío y defensa de su territorio en Colombia

Abstract

This research paper aims to reveal the relationship between geographic space and the collective action. The objective is to analyze, from the case of indigenous resistance peaceful versus armed conflict actors in Colombia, the importance of the spatial dimension to the analysis of collective action and social movements, where the concept of place arises as a category of analysis that explains the value of space to actors in contention. The central thesis argues that greater integration of the spatial dimension to the phenomenon of collective action can help at understand more comprehensively as a total social fact, because no human action outside the time-space relationships that frame. Humans are also temporal and spatial beings.
