abstract

  • From 2013 to 2015, indigenous people of the Emberá community displaced in Bogotá, were obligated to face two different sorts of state gubernamentality that had several implications in their daily life in the city. This happened because of the recognition that Emberá people have gotten for being subjects of the Colombian displacement polices. The first one of these kinds of state gubernamentality was a multicultural citizenship (that here is called transitory citizenship) depicted in the right of Emberá people of having a living place in the city. This right was carried out with transitory shelters, with which Emberá people were restricted from being in the city. To do that, the state was based on the Colombian multicultural idea with which the Emberá culture is vulnerable in urban places. The effect of this discourse was force them to assume their life in Bogotá as a transit to their rural territory that they had left years ago due to violence.The another kind of state gubernamentality were series of burocratic itineraries that Emberá people performed once they were in the city. These itineraries were routes they did around different national and local bureaucracies in order to demand the recognition of their rights. Each one of these itineraries unmasked a way of state violence (characteristic of the burocratic operation) that had deep aftermath in the Emberá daily life in the city, as it is shown in this thesis.
