Abstract
NATES CRUZ, BÉATRIZ. SOCIAL-TERRITORIAL ETHNOGRAPHIES OF MIGRATION AND MOBILITY IN THE MID MAGDALENA RIVER BASIN: The cases of Armero Avalanche, Mariquita Reservoir, and Honda Gentrification. Luna Azul [online]. 2010, n.31, pp.58-74. ISSN 1909-2474.
This article describes certain types of migration and mobility in Mariquita, Armero-Guayabal and Honda, municipalities belonging to the mid Magdalena River basin in Caldas and Tolima (Colombia). The problem presented is how migration and mobility are neither univocal processes nor they can they be studied from a unique dynamic; on the contrary, they crosslink circumstances not only of the causes of this phenomena but also of the implications in the arrival or reception places which, together (causes and implications) explain the existence of people, goods and services migrations and mobility. The methodology used was the ethnographic multi-plane method taking as a reference discourse the live voices of the narrators which were interviewed at different times and sceneries of their own municipalities during 2008 and 2009.
Keywords : Ethnography; migration; mobility; Mid Magdalena River Basin.
