Catástrofes creadas y su invisibilización en los contextos urbanos: la migración forzada al interior de las ciudades en Colombia

Abstract

The change in the logic of Colombian armed conflict —scenes, objectives, actors and warlike strategies— has made forced migration evolve in such a way that it is not possible now to talk only about forced migration from rural environments to urban ones but also about the existence of variations in these imposed mobility such as the forced migration inside the same city. In Colombia, forced migration among urban spaces is not recognized yet as a social phenomenon that requires public policies to cope with the disaster of violence that it is creating within a “civilized” urban setting.
