Banish the literate city, displace the root. Poetics and songs of the Embera people in Bogotá = Destejer la ciudad letrada, desplazar la raíz. Poéticas y cantares del pueblo embera en Bogotá

In the framework of studies on the contemporary processes of redefinition of indigenous narratives in Latin America, this paper investigates a series of artistic performances, literary and oralitegraphic proposals carried out by members of the displaced Embera people in Bogotá, with a particular focus on the context of the experience of community stay in the Olaya Herrera National Park (2021-2022). After going through some nodes of contact between urban imaginaries and contemporary indigenous epistemologies, the essay explores some Embera cultural productions, in a perspective of interpretation of indigenous creators as "embodied territories" (Rojas-Sotelo). Within the framework of the political and cultural struggle of the Embera, the essay aims to identify the trajectories of epistemic reconfiguration of their own knowledge as a result of forced displacement and the consequent symbolic re-elaborations of the imaginaries of the urban space of Bogota.
