Abstract

Thousands of LGBTI people have been victims of the forced displacement caused by the social and armed conflict in Colombia. Those people have arrived at new territories and rebuilt their lives, enhancing their freedom and abilities. At the same time, they transform this territory with their feelings and knowledge. This article aims at understanding the transformation of the territory from the alterity of the LGBTI victims of forced displacement in the department of Quindío, Colombia. We carried out an interpretative research with a hermeneutic approach based on the proxemics categories (intimate, personal, and public spaces), as well as a comprehensive review through social mapping of the body-territory relationship of this invisible and revictimized community because of its sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.
