This article aims to describe the methodological and theoretical construction of the notion of relational space, demonstrating its utility for the analysis of the Cerrejón mining project’s implications for the wayuu’s socioethnical reproduction. The notion of relational space allows the differentiation of domains, scales and characteristics of and taken by the relationships and interactions between the multinational, the Colombian State and the indigenous people wayuu. The figure of relational space permits a circumstantial and situational analysis, without excluding a structural and historical insight into the continuities and transformations of indigenous articulation strategies, specially their connection to “development”.
