This study seeks to propose an alternative for the analysis of resistance practices in the Barbacoas sector in the city of Medellin. Resistance practices are understood as actions of the subjects that seek, through enaction, to configure different levels of relationship with the environment.
These levels can be expressed in general terms, from the categories of participation, control, meaning and expectation.
This proposal allows the understanding of many actions in complex and dense contexts such as Barbacoas Medellin, where its inhabitants constantly redefine the notions of subsistence and survival as engines that allow them to inhabit the territory where the pluriverse is constituted as the context through which interactions account for multiple and complex horizons of meaning.
This study is expected to contribute to the resignification of resistance practices as a tool to understand vulnerable and stigmatized sectors who, due to a hegemonic narrative, have been made invisible both by the institution due to the absence of concrete public policies, and by the other inhabitants of the city.
