From land restitution to cultural restitution. Colombia on the road to peace

Abstract

This paper analyzes the man-earth-culture relationship, a triad that is inseparable when it comes to indigenous communities. Correspondence refers to a close connection that in the face of any form of irruption threatens the survival of ancestral groups. The aforementioned theme was approached from the structuralist and dialectical methods, insofar as it allows establishing a causeeffect relationship, that is, the problem seen from its causes and also in its context, for that matter, the territorial dispossession reaching its more immediate consequence, the loss of the culture generated by uprooting, and closes the discussion with the affirmation that cultural restitution is not possible.
