Collaborative Guerrilla in the Cities: the Antena Mutante Collective in Colombia

Abstract

The present article is part of the results of the study of collaborative resistance processes in the city of Medellín, Colombia. The methodology consisted of documentary analysis and interviews with members of the Antena Mutante collective. What this text proposes is a descriptive case study regarding the main actions of the collective Antena Mutante to contribute to the contours of a useful notion for the investigation of urban groups that is the notion of collaborative guerrillas. To characterize and describe some of the main collaborative guerrilla strategies of the collective Antena Mutante we recognized three tactics that are interconnected in a transversal way in the actions: 1) cartography and interruptions in the urban space, 2) connections in the cooperation meshes transnational and 3) visibilizacion and cyborg bodies.
