BOHORQUEZ CALDERA, Luis Alfredo. COLONIZATION OF NATURE: AN APPROACH FROM EXTRACTIVISM IN COLOMBIA. Ágora U.S.B. [online]. 2013, vol.13, n.1, pp.221-239. ISSN 1657-8031.

This research paper aims at providing some elements of analysis on the complex issue of the colonization of nature. In it a descriptive argument is carried out based on theoretical findings on the relationships between extractivism, which is a proper practice of the colonial device, and what is here called colonization of nature. The article initially presents an assessment of the impact on the configuration of the ancestral vision and appropriation of the territory and its cultural contents, as a result of the imposition of a new semantics, in reference to the device of the colonial powers. Then, the relationship between extractivism and the process of colonization of nature is analyzed; to finally sketch a brief reflection, by linking contemporary issues and contexts.

Palabras clave : Nature; mythical; ancient thinking; extractivism; coloniality.
