La constitución de la subjetividad política del vendedor informal: caso Suba

Abstract

The present research was of a biographical-narrative nature, emphasizing life stories with the purpose of characterizing the constitution of the political subjectivity of informal vendors in the public space of the Suba locality in Bogotá, in relation to their profession and the experiences they have had over the years, assuming a plurality of perceptions about politics and its effects on their lifestyles. The research process was built from the elements that make up public policy regarding informal vendors and the use of public space. It was necessary to develop the theoretical framework based on three fundamental categories for the present study, namely: political subjectivity, public space, and lifestyles. Similarly, in-depth interviews were conducted to account for the research categories in life stories. In this case, the analysis matrix proposed by (Quintero, 2018) was used to systematize and analyze the information.
