Partiendo de la reflexión teórica que procura hacer una distinción de la noche como algo más que un ciclo natural, considerándola una configuración socio espacial y temporal, cargada por la subjetividad de todos los que participan en ella, así como de estructuras culturales y relacionales; articulándola desde lo laboral, se propone analizarla desde dos facciones sumamente interconectadas: noctis y nocturnidad.Centrando la propuesta de este artículo en la nocturnidad; mediante el estudio etnográfico de las características siu generis del trabajo de producción de interacciones realizado por meseros y meseras en espacios semi privados de venta y consumo de alcohol en dos subconjuntos de bares de la Ciudad de México, se conceptualiza a dicha actividad como un trabajo no clásico de producción de nocturnidad.Más adelante, se presentan las consideraciones y adaptaciones a las técnicas y estrategias de investigación utilizadas, además de los desafíos éticos y prácticos que se generan en las etnografías de trabajo de nocturnidad. Finalmente, se hace hincapié en la necesidad de una conceptualización configuracional y ad hoc para el estudio etnográfico de las multiplicidades del trabajo de economía nocturna en el servicio de producción de interacciones.Palabras clave: Nocturnidad; Trabajo no clásico; Performance laboral; Economía de tiempo nocturno; Etnografía AbstractStarting on a theoretical reflection, in which the night is a social, spacial temporal configuration, full of the subjectivity of the cultural and relational structures of those who participate on it, rather than just a natural cycle; once joint with the labor perspective, it’s the proposal of this article to analyze the night from it’s two highly related components: noctis and nocturnidad.The considerations and adaptations to the research technics and strategies used, along with the ethical and practical challenges from the ethnography of the nocturnity work, comes next. Finally, the emphasis on the need of an ad hoc configurational conceptualization in the ethnographic study of night time economy work diversity.Key words: ethnography, nocturnity, night labour, non classic work, night time economy
This paper analyzes the interrelation between nocturnity, youths, and systemic violence. Based on the theory of conceived and inhabited space, ethnographic work, and on-site exploration, a reconstruction of urban imaginaries “of the border” and “of the night” is presented, as well as the narratives generated by Tijuana’s young residents. Thus, a distinction between the night (noctis) and nocturnity (noctem) is exposed, along with some key elements that make up the accessibility, experience, and participation of young people in Tijuana nights’ nocturnity in recreational, inequality, transgression, and violence contexts. The results allow us to perceive nocturnity as a socially constructed space, complex and dynamic, with diffuse and rigid borders, that needs a comprehensive public policy that seeks the inclusion of the youth and the progressive decrease of the inequalities that affect them.
