Abstract:

This work seeks to understand why interpersonal aggressions that lead to homicide in young people can be tolerated, demanded and applauded in the contexts of sociability in which they occur. The methodology developed was qualitative in that the study sought to document and analyze the meanings and experiences of the actorstheir perspectives. The fieldwork was carried out among young men living in six municipalities of the Greater Buenos Aires area between 2014 and 2017. As part of the results, we highlight that the permissibility of lethal aggressions is connected to a reduction in the sociability of youth to peer groups with strong territorial anchoring. This reduction is expressed as a consequence of the debility of family, work and institutional ties in the conformation of the social experience of these youth. In peer groups, responses to affronts may be valued not only as a way of intervening in conflicts, but also as a source of belonging and social recognition. We conclude that this reduced sociability expresses sociopolitical inequalities that contribute to homicide as an exceptional manifestation of a recurring spaces of interaction.
