QUINTANA ARIAS, Ronald Fernando. The post-organic cowboy: A biopolitical response of daily resistance to the dispossession of land in Meta (Colombia). Investig. desarro. [online]. 2022, vol.30, n.1, pp.137-169.  Epub June 04, 2022. ISSN 0121-3261.  https://doi.org/10.14482/indes.30.1.305.563.

In order to understand the dynamics in which the territory is thought of and interfered with, to lead to the displacement and dispossession of the population by armed or administrative means, 87 interviews with social leaders between 2019-2021 were carried out to allow for a historical analysis of processes associated with the occupation of lands in the department of Meta, under the Monster-Monstrosity relationship associated with technology from the mechanical methods of the State and / or the bioinformatics methods of the market. The results expose a territory that begins in the body, as a biopolitical and bioeconomic space of confrontation. The above is analyzed through the metaphors of the romantic cowboy, the man-eater, the land-of-the-future, and the post-organic cowboy, exposing a nomadic thought with a spirit of intellectual resistance and historical emancipation. It is concluded that the semiological character of daily life with technology allows for the empowerment, the visibility, and the political-economic reconfiguration of the territory
