Social practices and recovered identities: reconiguring what belongs to the individual in order to survive

Abstract

This article analyzes, from the perspective of Practice Theory, some collective experiences of refugee women and inhabitants of the Colombian and Ecuadorian border, as well as their social organizations that recover some of their social practices or are willing to adopt new social practices to reconcile the vulnerable state they are immersed in. The article highlights the importance of the bio-psycho-social factors of restoration, which must include their bodies as the irst receptacle of violence, and from what the communities themselves have adopted strategies in order to survive.
