COGNITIVE JUSTICE AND SOCIAL DIVERGENCE. PEACEFUL RESISTANCE THROUGH COMMUNITY BASED TOURISM

Authors

Keywords:

cognitive justice, social divergence, community-based tourism, peaceful resistance

Abstract

Community Based Tourism activities pursued by Indigenous peoples settled in rural Bogotá, is a means for achieving social and cognitive justice. It has helped preserve their land, memory and traditions, demonstrating their cosmovision of a good life where being able to live in harmony with nature is valued above achieving economic wealth. Semi- structured interviews and life-history methodology were used to understand how these ways of tourism led the community to preserve what is valued for them whilst simultaneously detaining predatory construction expansion. Actions are observed under the scopes of Cognitive Justice and Social Divergence. The first because of the valid knowledge produced in situ, and the second as a response to the contradiction of interests lying beneath neoliberalism and Indigenous cosmovision.
