Its importance lies in that, by categorizing it as informal or irregular, institutions have justified multiple spatial interventions imposed from above that do not consider the needs, interests, and capacities of its inhabitants. Over the years, however, the Comuna Popular has consolidated over the years as a resistance space in which inhabitants challenge the hegemonic narratives about living the city. Women have played a fundamental role in this process since, from the very first settlements and in the State’s absence, they had to assume the principal role as producers of habitable space.

En la Comuna Popular, el primer asentamiento reconocido como informal de Medellín, se manifiestan dos lógicas en disputa que configuran el espacio habitable: una institucional que —desde fuera— observa, analiza y determina las representaciones del espacio; y otra en la que sus habitantes —desde dentro— resisten, transgreden y construyen espacios de representación. La importancia de lo anterior radica en que, a partir de ser categorizada como informal o irregular, las instituciones han justificado múltiples intervenciones espaciales impuestas desde arriba que no consideran las necesidades, intereses y capacidades de sus habitantes. No obstante, esta zona se ha consolidado con el tiempo como un espacio de resistencia en el que se cuestionan las narrativas hegemónicas alrededor de habitar la ciudad. En este proceso las mujeres han tenido un papel fundamental ya que, desde las primeras ocupaciones y ante la ausencia estatal, asumieron el reto de hacer habitable la empinada ladera nororiental de la ciudad. Por tanto, este artículo busca documentar, con un enfoque desde abajo, el proceso de producción del espacio liderado por las mujeres de la Comuna Popular. Para ello, se retoman los testimonios de lideresas sociales quienes a partir de redes de solidaridad y juntanza transformaron la ladera en un hogar.

In the Comuna Popular, the first settlement recognized as informal in Medellín, two logics under dispute configure the habitable space: an institutional one that —from the outside— observes, analyzes, and determines the representations of space; and another one in which its inhabitants —from the inside— resist, transgress and build representational spaces. Its importance lies in that, by categorizing it as informal or irregular, institutions have justified multiple spatial interventions imposed from above that do not consider the needs, interests, and capacities of its inhabitants. Over the years, however, the Comuna Popular has consolidated over the years as a resistance space in which inhabitants challenge the hegemonic narratives about living the city. Women have played a fundamental role in this process since, from the very first settlements and in the State’s absence, they had to assume the principal role as producers of habitable space. Thus, this article seeks to document, through a bottom-up approach, the process of production of space led by the women in the Comuna Popular. For this end, this article recovers the testimonies of female social leaders who transformed the hillside into a home through networks of solidarity and juntanza. |
