La resistencia social y la construcción del territorio como bien común en la Reserva Thomas Van Der Hammen.

Abstract

This research analyzes how the resistance actions of the ecological corridor´s organizations, from The Thomas Van Der Hammen’s reserve, are constructing territory as a common wealth, their comprehension allows us to anticipate a different way of constructing territory, to understand the country from its social development, and establish a relationship with life, where the notions of property are reconstructed and transferred to the logic of community. Therefore, the relationships that exist between communities, environmental territories, the city and the economy are reconfigured, to allow the arrival of other forms of world construction. These forms are materialized through the resistance actions of the communities, they are the ones who create new ways of relation to each other, life and water, it means, they understand they are part of a complex system of relationships where the survival of the community and other living things, depend on it. For that reason, it is needed to generate social mobilization processes that allow people the reconfiguration of political and economic practices based on extractive and harmful processes, which have resulted in generations of ecological and social imbalances. The promotion the post-development, the construction of common wealth and the rights of nature are needed as an alternative to organize the environmental territories of Bogotá and the region from a regional territory perspective.
