This paper explores, from an anthropological point of view, the flux of deterritorialazed Colombians at the Casa do Migrante in Sao Paulo city, between 1997 and 2007. The analysis is based on statistical and demographic information excerpts from their personal data card in the CEM, and complemented by ethnographical observations. I support this deterritorialization process is both geographic and existential which obeys prolonged states of war. I also sustain that the same phenomenon produces several types of resistance, ongoing from vindications to resourcefulness. Thus resistance is expressed in an impetuous, subtle, noticeable, or concealed way, constituting what Scott, Certeau, and Pécaut designate infrapolitics, antidiscipline, or savoir-faire, respectively, which individuals resort to in the event of necessity.
