摘要:This essay explores Colombia’s capital city through an alternative epistemology that asks each reader to think of their personal connection with any given geography and reflect on how that relationship shapes their understanding of the place in question. Through the experiences of the Hard Core Punk music movement in Bogota in the late 1990’s, the socioeconomic divisions of the city and their implications with regards to the population’s experience of its geography are examined as the author puts forward his embodied geography. Taking the reader through the downtown streets of the nearly four hundred year-old city, author utilizes his love for local Hard Core music to expand both his physical and social understanding of Bogota at a time when it was considered the most dangerous city in the world.
