This article explores Maroon spatialities during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries through a critical geographical analysis based on historical records collected in the General Archive of the Indies, the National General Archive of Bogotá, and the oral tradition of San Basilio de Palenque, a community of descendants of fugitives from slavery located in the Montes de María in the Colombian Caribbean. The article’s findings show that San Basilio de Palenque survived by navigating in-between different colonial forms of producing territory that simultaneously implied opposition and co-optation. Drawing on Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui’s “ch’ixi” and Gloria Anzaldúa’s “border notions,” this spatial navigation embraced opposition and fissure between African, European, and indigenous elements without trying to suppress or reconcile them. This ethic of spatial balance as marronage was San Basilio de Palenque’s formula for survival. The methodology implemented in this article also required stepping in-between the archive and the oral tradition, without taking sides, taking a ch’ixi/border approach, as well revisiting the history of this Maroon community in Latin America.

本文根据印度独立档案馆，波哥大国家档案馆的历史记录以及后裔社区圣巴西利奥·德·帕伦克（San Basilio de Palenque）的口述传统，通过对地理的批判性分析，对十七和十八世纪的栗色空间进行了探索。哥伦比亚加勒比海的蒙特斯·德·玛丽亚（Montes deMaría）的奴隶制逃犯。文章的调查结果表明，圣巴斯利奥·德·帕伦克（San Basilio de Palenque）通过在不同殖民形式的生产领土之间导航而幸存下来，同时暗示着反对和合作。借鉴西尔维亚·里维拉·库西坎基（Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui）的“ ch'ixi”和格洛里亚·安扎尔杜亚（GloriaAnzaldúa）的“边界概念”，这种空间导航包含了非洲，欧洲和土著元素之间的对立和裂隙，而没有试图压制或和解它们。这种空间平衡的道德观念是圣巴西利奥·德·帕伦克（San Basilio de Palenque）的生存公式。本文所采用的方法还要求在档案和口头传统之间走步，不要一意孤行，采取ch'ixi / border方法，并重新审视拉丁美洲这个Maroon社区的历史。
