In Medellín, an island called Centro: possibility for other corporeities

Abstract

From an urban ethnography, the article examines the downtown of Medellín, identifying the motivations and corporeal practices that root its inhabitants in this territory. Thus, the article aims to give an account of the subjectivities of the individuals that inhabit the downtown of Medellín as a possibility of existance: corporeities who have a place to inhabit and exist through appropriating counter-spaces where the corporeal culture is redesigned and, in the process, existential patterns are achieved favoring heterotopic territorializations.
