PIZARRO, Matías Rafael  y  LARREA, Natalia Jimena. Etnographic work in two state conflicto managment agencies. A view on documents and cases. Runa [online]. 2020, vol.41, n.2, pp.105-124. ISSN 1851-9628.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34096/runa.v41i2.7971.

The aim of this paper is to reflect on the documentary production and case studies based on the ethnographic work developed in two state agencies of conflict management in the city of Olavarría, Province of Buenos Aires, during the year 2018. On the one hand, we highlight the importance that the documents have as clues, and also practices, to explore childhood and neighbourhood as social forms subject to state regulation. In this sense, we describe and analyze the way in which the State’s forms of documentation impact the processing of neighborhood conflicts and the administration of situations associated with children “with violated rights”. On the other hand, we point out the potential and limits that a case-based methodological approach implies for the development and continuity of our research.
