| description | The present article focuses on unveiling the relationship between cancer and territory. This relationship arises in the understanding of how cancer, as a non-human social actor, affects the territorial construction of spaces in daily life from its conception and connotation to its management and use of space. We worked with ten cancer patients and ten specialists from an Oncology Unit, Oncólogos de Occidente, located in the coffee axis. We used a qualitative methodological strategy based on a phenomenological study that focuses on revealing the practices and discourses that objectify the new territorial configurations. Among the main findings is how the relationship between cancer and territory entails a novel perspective for contemporary territorial studies, which allows understanding territory as a social and cultural construction of the social actors that is not only gestated to the measure and signification of humans. Also, the territory is tailored by the non-human actors who come into dispute and in constriction with the very dynamics that facilitate the configuration and ordination of an appropriate space. |

The present article focuses on unveiling the relationship between cancer and territory. This relationship arises in the understanding of how cancer, as a non-human social actor, affects the territorial construction of spaces in daily life from its conception and connotation to its management and use of space.

El presente artículo se centra concretamente en develar la relación entre Cáncer y territorio, en especial, la manera como, a partir del diagnóstico de esta enfermedad, el Cáncer, asumido como un actor social no humano, incide en la construcción territorial de los espacios de vida cotidiana, desde su concepción y significación hasta su gestión y uso. Para esto, se utilizó una estrategia metodológica cualitativa fundamentada en estudio fenomenológico, que se centró en identificar las prácticas y los discursos que objetivan las nuevas configuraciones territoriales. Se trabajó con diez enfermos de distintos tipos de cáncer y con diez especialistas de la Unidad Oncológica Oncólogos del Occidente situada en el Eje Cafetero. Entre los principales hallazgos, se muestra cómo la relación Cáncer y territorio implica, entre otras cosas, una vuelta de tuerca sugerente para los estudios del territorio contemporáneos, en tanto permite entrever que el territorio, como una construcción social y cultural de los actores sociales, es una producción y/o significación hecha no solo a la medida de los humanos, sino también, a la medida de los actores no humanos que entran en disputa y en tensión con las dinámicas mismas que posibilitan la configuración y ordenación de un espacio apropiado. O presente artigo centra-se concretamente em desvelar a relação entre cancro e território, especialmente, a maneira como, a partir do diagnóstico desta doença, o cancro, assumida como um ator social não humano, incide na construção territorial dos espaços de vida cotidiana, desde sua conceição e significação até sua gestão e uso. Para isto, se utilizou uma estratégia metodológica qualitativa fundamentada em estudo fenomenológico, que se centrou em identificar as práticas e os discursos que objetivam as novas configurações territoriais. Se trabalhou com dez doentes de diferentes tipos de cancro e com dez especialistas da Unidade Oncológica Oncólogos el Occidente situada no Eixo Cafeeiro. Entre os principais resultados, se mostra como a relação cancro e território implica, entre outras coisas, uma nova reviravolta sugestiva para os estudos do território contemporâneos, enquanto permite entrever que o território, como uma construção social e cultural dos atores sociais, é uma produção e/ou significação feita não só à medida dos humanos, mas também, à medida dos atores não humanos que entram em disputa e em tensão com as dinâmicas mesmas que possibilitam a configuração e ordenação de um espaço apropriado. 2020-02-04 2022-03-22T19:01:49Z 2022-03-22T19:01:49Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.urosario.edu.co/index.php/territorios/article/view/7282 10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/territorios/a.7282 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/96492 spa https://revistas.urosario.edu.co/index.php/territorios/article/view/7282/7751 https://revistas.urosario.edu.co/index.php/territorios/article/view/7282/8083 https://revistas.urosario.edu.co/index.php/territorios/article/view/7282/8084 https://revistas.urosario.edu.co/index.php/territorios/article/view/7282/8085 Derechos de autor 2020 Territorios application/pdf Universidad del Rosario Territorios; No. 42 (2020): (January-June); 1-25 Territorios; Núm. 42 (2020): (enero-junio); 1-25 2215-7484 0123-8418 10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/territorios/num42.2020 |
