- Title
Hacia una etnografía del Estado: reflexiones a partir del proceso de titulación colectiva a las comunidades negras del Pacífico colombiano.

- Abstract
In recent decades, the field of anthropological studies have produced different proposals for ethnographic analysis of the state, which have shifted their focus from the centralized government apparatus to the different actors involved in state-building processes. Taking up these proposals, we will analyze how black settlers from High Atrato, in the Colombian Pacific, build their imaginaries around the state, through its interaction with the officials in charge of the policy of collective titling to black communities. This analysis will allow us to see how, far from being a monolithic and coherent entity, the State is presented as a complex organization, as an arena of relationships and inequalities of power and influence between different actors, which when adhering to the dominant institutional structures, end up contributing to the overall project of state domination
