Conversaciones sobre el espacio: Primeras aproximaciones a la ciudad de Cúcuta, Colombia, desde sus habitantes

Abstract

The article consists on the research about subjective and social space constitutional processes in relation to the construction of gender, class and race differences. These processes happen in constant references to certain feminine and masculine representations identified in Cúcuta, North de Santander: “traquetos”, “Venezuelans” and “travesties”, where the body plays a central role in their recognition. The researched population consisted of approximately 20 students from tenth grade of two different schools: the Santo Ángel School and the San José School. I conducted collective interviews during 2014 and my personal experiences were written down in my field diary, also analyzed in this research.
