“…It emphasizes in particular the need to think concertedly about their conditions as victims and perpetrators of violence, and thus to recognize both the constraints that weigh on them and their autonomy of action under these constraints (Baines 2009;Cardi and Pruvost 2012). 14 For an introduction to the historical, social, and political logics underpinning the practical application of common property (ejido), see Nugent and Alonso (1994), Hoffman (1997), Nuijten (2003), Baitenmann (2007), and Bouquet and Colin (2009); for how it applies in poppy production areas, see Maldonado Aranda (2010) and Blazquez (2016). interlocutors, he is still a small-time local pesado with only modest political and economic contacts on the coastal plain.…”

This paper takes the abduction and rape of a woman as a social situation and, by putting it in perspective with other cases, looks at how these acts of violence are commented on locally in order to grasp how they reveal the broader configuration of power. I show that this armed abduction, followed by rape, finally reduced into a conjugal quarrel, appears to be a particularly brutal and vivid version of the "continuum of sexual violence". Locally apprehended by the category of "stealing a woman" (robo de mujer), the radicality of this porosity between armed and domestic violence refers to the singular political economy of Badiraguato, a Mexican municipality considered to be "the cradle of drug trafficking" and "the base of the Sinaloa Cartel". From a materialist feminist perspective, I argue that the extreme porosity observed in gendered violence refers to the forms of exploitation and predation that characterize an insertion into global capitalism based on exclusion and isolation. This research is based on an 18-month ethnography conducted between 2013 and 2016 in the main village, the offices of the town hall, and the poppy-producing hamlets spread across the territory.

This economy of exploitation and predation is thus at work in the relationships not only of production but also of livelihood (Smith 1989) and ownership (Blazquez 2016).…”
