Abstract

espanolA partir del analisis del rol variable de la nocion de despojo en las luchas por la tierra y el territorio entre sectores populares en los Andes narinenses, el articulo reflexiona sobre sus dimensiones ideologicas -morales y conceptuales-, asi como sobre su caracter historico y productivo. Se desarrollan tres planteamientos teoricos acerca de la nocion de despojo: primero, su uso implica una narrativa segun la cual un sujeto es privado injustamente del derecho a gozar de un bien especifico por la accion arbitraria de otro. Segundo, es una nocion ideologicamente mediada enraizada en concepciones de realidad y justicia particulares. Tercero, su historia no es independiente de las disputas sociales por las condiciones de acceso a distintos tipos de bienes, como de la circulacion y distribucion entre individuos inscritos en diferentes categorias sociales, y a la vez es un producto y un instrumento de tales disputas. EnglishFrom the analysis of the varying role of the notion of dispossession in the struggle for land and territory among popular sectors of the Andean Narino Department, the article reflects on the ideological -moral and conceptual- dimensions of that notion, and their historical and productive nature. I develop three theoretical arguments around the notion of dispossession: first, its use involves a narrative according to which a given subject is unfairly deprived of their right to enjoy a particular good as a result of the arbitrary action of another. Second, it’s an ideologically mediated notion, rooted in particular conceptions of reality and justice. Thirdly, its history is not independent of social disputes over the conditions of access to different types of goods,as well as over its circulation and distribution among individuals inscribed in different social categories, thus being both a product and an instrument of such disputes.
