MAGLIANO, María José; PERISSINOTTI, María Victoria  and  ZENKLUSEN, Denise. El origen nacional y la condición migratoria como generadores de conflictos y formas de violencia en un barrio de la periferia urbana de Córdoba. Cuad. antropol. soc. [online]. 2015, n.42, pp.109-124. ISSN 1850-275X.

This paper analyses the implications of national origin and migration status in conflicts that reproduce forms of violence in a neighborhood of urban relegation (Wacquant, 2007), located in the Eastern periphery of Córdoba and mainly inhabited by Peruvian migrants. In addition, it looks into the forms and meanings of insecurity representations in these conflicts -in contexts of social exclusion- through considering the complex and contradictory practices and experiences of the people who live in those spaces. Methodologically, the paper is based on ethnographic research grounded in field observation, which attempts to understand how and why people in particular socio-historical scenarios act, think and feel as they do. It explores a topic scarcely developed yet in migration studies, that is the articulation between interpersonal violence, national origin and urban marginality.

Keywords : Peruvian migration; Urban marginality; Interpersonal violence; Insecurity; Córdoba.
