Abstract:
This article aims to explain the inner workings of male “whiteness” among medium and higher classes in the city of Bogotá. To do this, I will draw from the scattered this concept may be anchoring it to an ethnography lived at a traditional elite school in Bogotá. In this ethnography, I will analyze the settings where this whiteness inhabits, is performed and reproduced (soccer, martial band, and “committees”). Finally, I conclude that the main characteristic of whiteness is the legitimation and the practice of a violent naturalized domination upon most of Colombian population.
Keywords: whiteness, account, higher classes, naturalized domination, Bogotá, masculinities.
