CEBALLOS ROSERO, Franco. The Elderly and the Territory of Jenoy (Pasto, Colombia): Ethnography and Ethnoliterature of Resistance. univ.humanist. [online]. 2018, n.86, pp.197-218. ISSN 0120-4807.  https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.uh86.mtjp.

The present article is the result of an undisciplined, long-lasting and supportive ethnographic work that aims to examine the process of identity and territorial reconstruction of the native people of Jenoy (Colombia), thirteen years after being declared a disaster area located in the territory adjacent to the Galeras volcano in 2005 (Decree 4106), and receiving the order to relocate the population settled in a zone of high volcanic risk in 2008 (Decree 3905); both decisions being subsequently ratified by the constitutional jurisprudence in 2015 (Sentence T-269) despite the legitimate community opposition (Article 16, Law 21 of 1991). The construction of the document is proposed from a literary ethnography or ethnoliterature, based on the oral and territorial memory of the elderly native people. For this purpose, the work is oriented towards dialogue, solidarity and the search for new paths.

Keywords : memory; indigenous peoples; ethnography; ethnoliterature; resistance; Jenoy (Colombia).
