%X This paper examines the transformations in actor-network collective action in the Process of Black Communities ¡ªpcn¡ª, which were developed as a consequence of the armed conflict worsening in the Pacific region ¡ªspecifically on the collective lands in the municipalities of Buenaventura and Su¨¢rez (Southwestern Colombia)¡ª in the last ten years. Information was gathered through semi-structured interviews, observation records, analysis of audio/text documents on the organizations¡¯ claims and communiqu¨¦s, and the drafting of aggregated data on displacement and conflictual facts in the region. Findings show a significant up surging of conflict within the period, in the face of which PCN¡¯s coalitions with local and global actors have come both to neutralize and make visible armed actors¡¯ actions against populations, and to reorient collective action, introducing innovations in the repertoires of action and setting new goals for this actor-network in the region.
