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.
- Violence keeping you in your house
- There are more and more police
- The analysis of violence is inseparable from its political uses and its articulation with power
- “La víctima sustituye al ciudadano”
- “El ‘vecino’ no es la persona con la que se comparte una historia de solidaridades previas, sino la persona con la que se comparte la zozobra, con la que se comparte un código que se agota en señales de alerta…”
- So the neighbor is an anonymous being who acquires corporality only in defense of common territory (but on whom you depend in the dark, so to speak, because you don’t have other connections with them)
- Cesare Lombroso 1876: Hombre criminal … an anthropology of criminals
- Marian images in postmodern landscapes, on urban routes; de-territorialization, re-territorialization, fear, modernity
- The world of the social and sociability is actually founded on urban violence
- The city seen as threatened by otherness and on the other hand por el poder
- We project our own fears into violence; the image we have of it reflects our fears
- And we should look into this mirror, look at the reflection, “para quitarle su carga caótica y fatalista”
Axé.
