VALBUENA, Daniela Joya. Dwelling the neighborhood amidst uprooting: sights from youth in the Central-South area of Bogota. Bitácora Urbano Territorial [online]. 2021, vol.31, n.1, pp.139-150.  Epub June 15, 2021. ISSN 0124-7913.  https://doi.org/10.15446/bitacora.v31n1.87795.

This paper presents the analysis about the ways in which a group of youngsters builds a relationship with the neighborhood in the Central-South area of Bogota. By understanding that dwelling is a central process on subjectivities construction, it critically goes over the current context which is characterized by individualization and uprooting, taking as a basis the ways in which these subjects have introjected these discourses in their daily life experience. This situation supposes a series of challenges to think cohesion and space appropriation in a time that is characterized by social fragmentation. The methodology of the research was based on a qualitative perspective that allowed to know the narrations of the youngsters in order to understand their main encounters and symbolic configurations about their spatial context.

Keywords : Youth; disintegration; neighborhood; identity; urban spaces.
