I can’t pretend to actually read every article or manuscript I recycle without knowing where it is online, but this was a talk Rosanna Reguillo gave at Pittsburgh in 2000 and it is about violence, and maps urban interactions. Axé.

Sé que es Mictlantecuhtli quien me arrastra, sé que es él quien me arresta y, con la toga puesta, él mismo ahora me levanta el acta. Una cárcel compacta, el Reclusorio Orientese muestra de repente como el círculo interno de otra cárcel mayor: El barrio es el infierno. Pero peor.
