Abstract

ZULETA PARDO, Mónica. AN ILLUSION CALLED PÁRAMO DE RABANAL. Nómadas [online]. 2012, n.37, pp.55-70. ISSN 0121-7550.

Following the nitzschean idea of joviality, this paper evaluates some cunning made to put into movement extractive projects, hidden in conservationist purposes, but having in fact destructive impact on some environmentally preserved areas. It also shows some mechanism made to cover up the reality giving a substituting fiction. The paper deals with the transformation of a páramo in the colombian mining region in the last decade. Finally, it exposes the building of allegedly scientific objects to develop said project.

Keywords : Nietzschean hermeneutics; páramo de rabanal; mining industry in Colombia; conservation; environmental history.
