description This article presents an analysis from critical geography on territorial production in Alto Sinú between 1994 and 2019 regarding the construction of the Urrá hydroelectric power plant. Through ethnographic research focused on territorial analysis, it identifies the planning and construction process of the hydroelectric power plant, the territorial transformations experienced by local populations, peasants, and Embera-Katíos, and the ongoing armed conflict. It was found that production in Alto Sinú derives from the interaction of three dimensions of territorial practice: dominion, appropriation, and accessibility. Dominion materializes in control measures such as legal and non-legal actions; appropriation reflects in settlement and socioeconomic organization patterns; and accessibility accounts for restrictions on certain important services such as electrical power.

Este artículo presenta un análisis desde la geografía crítica sobre la producción del territorio del Alto Sinú entre 1994 y 2019 en relación directa con la construcción de la hidroeléctrica de Urrá, a partir de la identificación del proceso de planeación y construcción de la hidroeléctrica, de las transformaciones territoriales vividas por las poblaciones locales, campesinos y embera-katíos, y de la presencia del conflicto armado, a través de una investigación etnográfica con énfasis en el análisis territorial. Encontramos que la producción del territorio actual del Alto Sinú se da a partir de la interacción de tres dimensiones de la práctica territorial: dominio, apropiación y accesibilidad, en donde el dominio se concreta por medio de medidas de control como acciones legales y extralegales, la apropiación se refleja en patrones de asentamiento y organización socioeconómica, y la accesibilidad da cuenta de restricciones a ciertos servicios importantes como la energía eléctrica. Este artigo apresenta uma análise a partir da geografia crítica sobre a produção do território do Alto Sinú entre 1994 e 2019 em relação direta à construção da hidrelétrica de Urrá, com base na identificação do processo de planejamento e construção da hidrelétrica, das transformações territoriais vividas por populações locais, camponeses e a tribo Emberá-Katíos, e da presença do conflito armado, através de uma pesquisa etnográfica com ênfase numa análise territorial. Nós achamos que a produção do atual território do Alto Sinú ocorre a partir da interação de três dimensões da prática territorial: domínio, apropriação e acessibilidade, onde é concretizado o dominio por meio de medidas de controle, como ações legais e extralegais, a apropriação se reflete nos padrões de assentamento e organização socioeconômica, e a acessibilidade é responsável por restrições a certos serviços importantes, como a energia elétrica.
