Thousands of LGBTI people have been victims of the forced displacement caused by the social and armed conflict in Colombia. Those people have arrived at new territories and rebuilt their lives, enhancing their freedom and abilities. At the same time, they transform this territory with their feelings and knowledge. This article aims at understanding the transformation of the territory from the alterity of the LGBTI victims of forced displacement in the department of Quindío, Colombia. We carried out an interpretative research with a hermeneutic approach based on the proxemics categories (intimate, personal, and public spaces), as well as a comprehensive review through social mapping of the body-territory relationship of this invisible and revictimized community because of its sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.

Territory, territorialization, and social cartography have become categories that can help to understand the emotional attachments between subjects and the spaces/places the inhabit. This article aims to answer the question: How can social cartography represent one's emotional attachment to the territory? It further aims to make a bibliographical review based on the search of the concepts in open access databases. One of the main conclusions is that the territory is understood as a multidimensional category that links not only one's ownership of, and identification with, a physical space, but also delves into the social, political and symbolic constructs established in everyday life. Social cartographies become different transformation strategies that enable communities or groups to build and abstract the meanings assigned to the territory and the emotional attachment shared in between to become empowered as a society to achieve collective development. ; El territorio, la territorialización y las cartografías sociales, se constituyen como categorías que pueden aportar a la comprensión del vínculo emocional de los sujetos con el espacio o lugar habitado. Este artículo busca dar respuesta al interrogante ¿cómo las cartografías sociales permiten representar el vínculo emocional con el territorio? Se hace a partir de una revisión bibliográfica soportada en el rastreo de bases de datos de libre acceso. Una de las principales conclusiones es que el territorio se comprende como una categoría multidimensional que no solo vincula la apropiación e identificación con un espacio físico, sino que también profundiza en las construcciones sociales, políticas y simbólicas establecidas en la cotidianidad. Las cartografías sociales se convierten en estrategias de transformación social que permite a las comunidades o grupos, construir y abstraer los significados asignados al territorio y el vínculo emocional compartido entre ellos, para empoderarse como sociedad hacia el desarrollo colectivo.
