| description | This article examines the relationship among violence, substance use, and community care in the popular (low-income) neighborhoods of the Área Reconquista within Argentina’s Greater Buenos Aires conurbation (2001-2022). It is a case study that combines in situ participant observation with interviews conducted with key stakeholders. Using the category of interlinked violences, the analysis shows that micro-trafficking, indebtedness, gender-based and institutional violence, environmental precariousness, and territorial disputes intersect and mutually reinforce one another, constituting a web of persistent harms in these neighborhoods. Neighborhood responses —soup kitchens, neighborhood networks, and local organizations— offer partial protection against violence, but they lack the capacity to reverse the structural causes of violence. |

Se trata de un estudio de caso que incluye observación participante en territorio y entrevistas a vecinas barriales. Mediante el empleo de la categoría de ‘violencias enlazadas’ se encuentra que el microtráfico, el endeudamiento, la violencia de género e institucional, la precariedad ambiental y las disputas territoriales, se entrecruzan y refuerzan mutuamente, lo que configura una red de daños persistentes en estos barrios. Las respuestas barriales —comedores, redes vecinales y organizaciones locales— ofrecen contención parcial frente a la violencia, aunque sin capacidad de revertir las causas estructurales de la violencia.Instituto de Altos Estudios Nacionales IAEN2026-01-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionTextArtículos evaluados por doble pares ciegosTextoapplication/pdftext/htmltext/xmlhttps://revistas.iaen.edu.ec/index.php/estado_comunes/article/view/42310.37228/estado_comunes.423Estado & comunes; Vol. 1 No. 22 (2026): The Economy of Drugs: Global Impact, Markets and Future; 119-140Estado & comunes; Vol. 1 Núm. 22 (2026): Economía de las drogas: impacto global, mercados y futuro; 119-1402477-92451390-8081reponame:Revista de políticas y problemas públicosinstname:Instituto de Altos Estudios Nacionalesinstacron:IAENspahttps://revistas.iaen.edu.ec/index.php/estado_comunes/article/view/423/765https://revistas.iaen.edu.ec/index.php/estado_comunes/article/view/423/766https://revistas.iaen.edu.ec/index.php/estado_comunes/article/view/423/769Argentina, Buenos Aires, Área ReconquistaArgentina, Buenos Aires, Área ReconquistaDerechos de autor 2026 José Garriga Zucal, Romina Rajoy, Joaquín Zajachttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2026-02-06T20:17:11Zoai:revistas.iaen.edu.ec:article/423Portal de revistashttps://revistas.iaen.edu.ec/index.php/estado_comunesUniversidad públicahttps://www.iaen.edu.ec/https://revistas.iaen.edu.ec/index.php/estado_comunes/oaiEcuadoropendoar:2026-02-06T20:17:11falsePortal de revistashttps://revistas.iaen.edu.ec/index.php/estado_comunesUniversidad públicahttps://www.iaen.edu.ec/https://revistas.iaen.edu.ec/index.php/estado_comunes/oai.Ecuadoropendoar:2026-02-06T20:17:11Revista de políticas y problemas públicos - Instituto de Altos Estudios Nacionalesfalse |
