Abstract

This article proposes to investigate the emergence of risk and prevention in national and municipal policy in Colombia, emphasizing the city of Bogotá and using a methodology that combines historical and anthropological approaches. It establishes its temporal frame as beginning in 1985, since the conjuncture that occurred in November of that year with the tragedy of Armero and the siege of the Palacio de Justicia just one week before generated in the domain of political culture a new emphasis on the topic of risk.
