In this research I study different forms of citizen configuration according to the territorial histories of three spaces in Medellín that are differentiated by social class and urban-rural location. I followed the Library Parks as an intervention of social urbanism that sought to pacify the population by promoting citizen culture. Under the ideal of a rational citizen who manages dissent in the public space, social urbanism sought to decrease crime rates by building lavish infrastructures. However, these spaces were appropriately differentiated by the inhabitants of the territories. From a pragmatic approach, in which the understanding of the experiences of the inhabitants prevailed, I propose three types of citizenships: divergent, active and diverse. The comparison of the various ways of performing citizenship questions the traditional conceptions that have understood it as a status or as practices of fulfillment of duties and respect for authority. The research findings demonstrate that citizen subjects become acts in which they question the State, demand rights and, in some cases, when they act outside the framework of legality. The rights demanded by these citizenships are related to the histories of the territories and vary from demands of agroecological associations in the Corregimiento of San Cristóbal that seek to follow different ways of life than that of the urbanites, or the request for the construction of parks in the Comuna Belén or calls to truth and justice in Commune 13.
