Abstract
This essay addresses the significance of minimal interactions within a repopulation process in the rural district of Buenavista (Manizales, Caldas, Colombia) through the phrase “ser pinchado”. I will argue that such a process is manifested abbreviated through punctual linguistic expressions that reflect latent antagonisms giving rise to emergent and articulatory social categories. Ethnographic-inspired vignettes will be presented about the importance of the “ser pinchado” phrase —as a category of this type— and its influence currently to regularize daily interactions in the rural district. The proposal intended to be delineated here is included in the conceptual framework of what some experts have called ex-urbanization within urban anthropology focusing on the representations of the relationships between actors that carry different ways of sociality and hold different conceptions of nature. However, here we prefer an approach towards performativity in micro-scales and the subtle distributions of improbable information chains.
