BAUTISTA GOMEZ, Martha Milena. Rural territory, violence and resistance in Sumapaz, Colombia. Rev. Mex. Sociol [online]. 2022, vol.84, n.1, pp.99-126.  Epub Mar 22, 2022. ISSN 2594-0651.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iis.01882503p.2022.1.60226.

This article focuses on the relationship between territory and conflict in Colombia, by analyzing power schemes, different forms of conflict, and the experiences of the social actors whose actions and reactions define the territories in conflict. From the theoretical perspective of the social construction of territory, and following a qualitative methodology, the article seeks to understand the process of social construction of the rural territory of Sumapaz (Bogotá, Colombia), through the narratives of violence and social resistance of its peasants.
