Abstract:
We present the results of a study analyzing the experience of young people with violence in marginalized neighborhoods, examining the links to processes of vulnerability and recognition. We used the methodological strategy of life story reports, built on semi-structured interviews with ten young people 18 to 26 years of age, with their spaces of sociability in marginalized neighborhoods in Greater Metropolitan Buenos Aires, Argentina. Following the theory’s lines, we simultaneously built, coded, and analyzed the data, using the Atlas.ti package. Recording the young people’s experiences with violence allows visualizing the dynamic and multidimensional nature of their processes of vulnerability, identifying the links to forms of recognition (affective, legal-moral, and ethical-social), the denial of which at different moments in their lives generates situations of disparagement or social invisibility.
