Con el objetivo de evidenciar la forma en que la diversidad sociodemográfica ha resignificado el proceso de desarrollo territorial y origina líneas de fuga que trascienden la hegemonía de los poderes económicos-políticos-ambientales en los Llanos-Orientales, se realiza una metodología experimental que combina análisis situacionales, la genealogía, y la reconstrucción histórica de fenómenos sociales a través de 87 entrevistas a líderes sociales entre el 2019-2021. Los resultados muestran un territorio de activa conexión cultural que favorecen la lucha contra hegemónica dentro de las metáforas de "el mito del Estado nación" y "la imposibilidad de generar alternativas". El análisis expone la existencia de rebeliones de conducta a través de resistencias cotidianas creativas, políticas y culturales, que favorecen el poder de la confianza, la solidaridad, la cooperación, el afecto, así como los liderazgos colectivos. Se concluye que el poder central no tiene la capacidad de capturar estas resistencias ya que no tiene la potencia analítica para percibir la reconfiguración del espíritu humano ni las variaciones del tejido social.

This article is part of the Master's thesis in Social Policy "Female Stray Bodies: To a social construction of gender policy in Bogotá" like a result of my own work experience as a young state official of the Protection of Children and youth District Institute (or IDIPRON initials in spanish). During the research process we attempted to construct knowledge from the experience of those who were involved in the problem of study, questioning the construction of sexualities and gender in street contexts as well as the government response that support roles and gender stereotypes in District's social service programs, aimed at children and youth inhabitant of / in street. The purpose of the paper is to present the conceptual and methodological route for the construction of a new category: stray female bodies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article discusses the way the discourses and counter-discourses have been used in the construction of frames on behalf of the actor-network, Process of Black Communities, in its dialogue with the Colombian government within the framework of the hearings of the Inter-american Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) between 2007 and 2013. Theoretically, the notions of biopower, biopolitics, governmentality and discursive practices developed by Michel Foucault are addressed , as well as the theory of frames by Snow and Bendford. Methodologically, audios and videos of the hearings before the Commission are analyzed. In the analysis of the interaction between State and Afro petitioners there were identified frames, discourses and counter-discourses related to racism, territoriality, victimization of afro populations and women, and armed conflict. The findings identify frames around the issue of human rights, aimed at harnessing the discursive and political opportunities opened by the Commission to influence the decisions of the state actor.

This article aims to describe and interpret the biopolitical dimension of the Chorographic Commission (1850-1859), which was organized by the central state to obtain relevant information for the governance of the population, the rationalization of production and the promotion of comerce. Starting from the revision of the commissions' documents along with other contemporary texts this article shows how different governance strategies were proposed, some of them focusing on the circulation of people and goods, while other strategies focused on discovering the laws behind socio economic processes paying attention to the particularities of the territory and of the national population. These particularities defi ned the limits of governance, which added to the country's political instability and reduced the impact of the commission's recommendations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article discusses the implementation of the principle of the governance of life in Colombia, as part of an analysis on the forms of social and political uses of knowledge, in particular of hygiene. The practice and discipline of hygiene is considered to have provided the State with useful resources for forging new links with the population, especially during the process of its consolidation, from the end of the 19th century until the middle of the twentieth century. These possibilities enabled the State to create, and at the same time, control citizens' bodies, in various ways and among diverse social groups. Hygienic practice brought together international scientific knowledge with regional efforts toward homogenization, as well as national and local needs for differentiation. In order to study these links, the text focuses on the interaction between the hygiene discipline, its professionals, the international networks of knowledge exchange, and the principal hygiene mechanisms that were introduced to manage the population. Finally, the article reflects on some differences between the national situation and the most distinctive characteristics of the genealogy of biopower. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose is to discuss under some premises of Foucault`s biopolitics, governmental practices in the field of the contemporary dominium of public mental health. Within this epistemology, I would like to revise the emergence of the device of the Public Policy on mental health attention for forced internal displacement victims at Colombia in the past decade. Under the Sentencia T 025 the Colombian constitutional court obliges the government to recognize the existence of forced internal displacement and states mandatory the provision of mental health attention to victims. I suggest that this dominium of the public policy in mental health for victims of sociopolitical violence is a biopolitic exercise, where the devices mainly used in public mental health such as population and individuals act upon certain groups focalizing interventions. This mediation acts under the naturalization of trauma, vulnerability and risk, and has the final effect of the medicalization of society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The following article strives to develop a reflection of the expressions of resistance, aesthetics and narrative practices of a group of young people who belong to the school INEM Francisco de Paula Santander (Kennedy - Bogota - Colombia), who calls itself MAFRA (Radical Antifascist Anarco - collective movement). For their purposes, the group leans on concepts such as Micropolitics, Biopolitics, Resistance and Crowd, developed by authors as Foucault, Negri, Hardt, Deleuze and Guattari. Finally, it asks for the limits of these practices of resistance, evoking the image of the "machine that mutes" and showing the example of the "Rock al Parque" music festival organized every year by the local government of Bogotá.

This current text aims at exploring, in general terms, the understanding of the Catholic pedagogies at the beginning of the Twentieth Century in Colombia as biopolitical manifestations, from which it was possible to position in our country some conceptions of childhood and youth as panoptized temporalities; as a collection of beings who are without being, and that therefore, must be intervened and watched for their individual salvation and for the collective regeneration.

In the area of Colombian Putumayo and Caquetá, the missionary project of the Orden Capuchina, settled since the first decade of the 20th Century, wanted to incorporate to the nation those populations that did not fit the white, catholic and healthy citizen ideal. For this purpose, the missioners based their biopolitic intervention on a conception of the indigenous body that articulated notions of the Christian theology with the eugenic and homogenization percepts of the time. This paper analizes three missionary manuscripts to understand the construction of the indigenous image and the dispositions designed to guarantee their incorporation to the civilizatory process.
