Sumario: | In the current phase of the capitalist system, the extractive mining model has become a predatory human activity with high environmental, territorial, social, political, economic and cultural impact on natural assets. In this context, Colombia has oriented its economy towards extractive projects of energy mining, adopting the public policy of the mining locomotive, as a basis for economic development. The objective of this article is to analyze the impacts of the mining multinationals, the role of the Colombian State and the community responses in the municipality of Marmato. For that, the approaches of accumulation by expropriation, studies of legal conscience, globalization against hegemony and social identity theory are studied; perspectives that are analyzed in the light of the empirical work, which were relevant to the testimonies of the Marmato community in connection with the arrival of multinationals in this municipality, their perceptions about the role of institutions and the mining policy and representations around the conflict and the processes of resistance. |
