Abstract

This article analyses the socio-environmental conflict of the Bloque San Juan (Putumayo, Colombia) between the local community -represented by the Asociacion Ambiental El Salado de los Loros- and the oil company Gran Tierra Energy Inc. With the objective of understanding the territorial and sociopolitical perspectives of the conflict in a relational way, an interdisciplinary dialogue between the territorial turn, the pragmatic sociology and the political opportunity structure it’s proposed. As a conclusion the notions of restrictions and political opportunities, repertoires of action, territorial-frames, experience contexts and processes of appropriation of space (territorialization), are presented as constitutive elements of the conflict, insofar, each one is fundamental within its evolution.
