Abstract

This article explores forms of territorial appropriation and spatial practices in the archipelago of San Bernardo (Bolivar, Colombia). Our aim is to describe and analyze the forms in which the Islet’s inhabitants –the island where a major part of the population in the archipelago lives- appropriate themselves, organize and interact with their insular and continental environment by means of contacts with the different territories. This set of practices and relations represent what we call islander space (espacio isleño).
