Abstract
El artículo analiza las formas de apropiación territorial que los agentes del Estado y la población raizal, representada específicamente por los pescadores y pescadoras artesanales, han construido en el espacio marítimo del Caribe Insular Colombiano (San Andrés, Providencia y Santa Catalina) tomando como punto de inflexión la sentencia de la Corte Internacional de Justicia de La Haya (2012) sobre el diferendo limítrofe entre Colombia y Nicaragua. Siguiendo la propuesta teórica de Agnew & Oslender y empleando una metodología de
carácter cualitativa basada en un trabajo de campo, se argumenta que existen “territorialidades superpuestas”, entendidas como visiones y acciones complementarias, contrapuestas y superpuestas sobre el espacio, por parte de estos dos grupos de actores que operan dentro y fuera de los límites marítimos. Mientras que, desde el Estado, la territorialidad se manifiesta en el débil reconocimiento del mar como territorio ambiental y geoestratégico, desde el Pueblo Raizal y su gente de mar se ejercen formas superpuestas de territorialidad,
que proponemos llamar maritorialidad, a partir del ejercicio cotidiano de la soberanía y el uso ambiental, cultural y económico de las áreas marítimas.
This article analyzes the forms of appropriation of the territory that the Colombian State, and the Raizal population, and specifically artisanal fishermen, have built in the maritime space in the Colombian Insular Caribbean. This analysis takes as a turning point the ICJ’s decision (2012) on the borderline dispute between Colombia and Nicaragua. Agnew and Oslender’s theory was followed and a qualitative methodology based on fieldwork was used. Based on this, there are arguments that point at the existence of “overlapping territorialities” between these two parties that have operated inside and outside of the maritime borders. Firstly, the State manifests its territoriality as a weak acknowledgement of the sea as an environmental and geostrategic territory with a relationship of economic exploitation and military control. On the other hand, Raizal communities and seamen practice their own alternative and overlapped territoriality forms based on the popular exercise of sovereignty environmental, cultural, and economic usage of maritime areas.
