The ethnicization of the "black community" in the southern Colombian Pacific region is a process that originated at the beginning of the 1990s. Associated with the ruling of the article in the Political Constitution of 1991, which recognizes cultural rights and specific territories for the "black community," an innovative dynamic of organization was consolidated, articulated to politics of alterity in which multiple mediations and actors intervened. The present article is a contribution to the ethnography of the production of alterity, focusing on the black community as a political and legal subject in the region of the southern Colombian Pacific.

AbstractIn this paper two case studies are compared, Mexico and Colombia, in which the protection of 'genetic identities' has generated political and legal systems designed to avoid the unlawful appropriation of biological material and/or DNA in Latin America. The very idea that genetic patrimonies belong to nation-states or ethno-racial groups -framed as genomic sovereignty or the protection of a disappearing indigenous genetic heritage-is the product of a genetically reified understanding of human diversity, which we identify as 'biocoloniality'. By exploring the common tropes and imaginations with which biocoloniality has been articulated, we argue that governance mechanisms built around 'genetic identities' are ineffective in addressing the unequal power relations inherent in contemporary scientific and regulatory practice.
Este artículo examina cómo el surgimiento de los posgrados en ciencias sociales y humanas se articula con la transformación del modelo de Universidad, donde los pregrados han experimentado una reducción en las exigencias frente al papel de la investigación en el proceso formativo. Afirma, además, que la investigación en los posgrados se enfrenta con los grandes cambios en lo que significa hacer investigación hoy en Colombia y con el posicionamiento de lógicas gerenciales y empresariales en el establecimiento universitario.
