Producción social de cuerpos, divisiones sociales y marginación en el desarrollo urbano de la ciudad de Bogotá

Abstract

Since the XIXth century, Bogota City has characterized for the boom of a modern sensibility promoted by an aesthetic education (aisthesis). This educational function, carried out by a group of literates allowed the co-construction and perpetuation of different and unequal subjects, and thus, a marginality with dissimilar ways of life. That is how the city was divided into a ordinary and violent town that was opposed to fine taste people, with touch, well mannered and with a correct speech tone; which is the same dichotomy than between sensitive and insensitive people. Taking this into account, the research purpose is to analyze some of the effects of this corporeal formation, centering efforts in the controversy raised when, in 1982, the world knew how Gabriel García Márquez was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. This allows the research to conclude that there still is a division of social subjects anchored as a social epistemological base that could be interpreted from the concepts of epistemic violence or illegitimacy complex.
