“…Since the early 2000s, several edited volumes and special issues examine Latin American metropoles as “fractured cities” inhabited by “citizens of fear” (Imbusch, Misse, and Carrión 2011; Koonings and Krujit 2007; Rotker 2002) where urban space is increasingly reorganized in response to violence and “the lack of confidence in the state’s capacity to provide effective police security” (Moser 2004:10). Numerous ethnographies of favelas and barrios marginados depict scenes of everyday terror, horrifying police brutality, and unresponsive bureaucracies among the urban poor, and particularly among the urban youth (Alvarado Mendoza 2013; Auyero and Berti 2015; Machado da Silva 2008; Zubillaga, Llorens, and Souto 2019). Scholars argue that violence and not only poverty define the very notion of urban margins in the Global South and beyond (Auyero 2011; Auyero et al 2015).…”

Although urban violence is most often theorized in relation to marginality, violence affects wealthy and poor in Latin America, albeit in different ways. Drawing on qualitative fieldwork and media coverage of a gruesome turf war in Monterrey, Mexico, this paper illustrates how an increase in violence lead the upper class to “disembed” the municipality of San Pedro from the Monterrey Metropolitan Area, revamp the police, and attempt to create not only a “defended neighborhood,” but an entire “defended city.” Contemporary San Pedro reveals that violence and related fear can prompt not only the fragmentation of urban space into numerous gated communities, but also the simultaneous concentration of urban wealth and public security at a city level. Latin American metropoles call for a reconceptualization of urban violence beyond the margins and a closer examination of the invisible walls enclosing the urban wealthy around the world.

El presente artículo se desprende de una investigación doctoral más amplia en la que centré el interés por indagar en los procesos de socialización de jóvenes que habitan enclaves de pobreza y violencia urbana, teniendo como uno de los ejes principales, las relaciones que se tejen entre las y los jóvenes que habitan estos contextos con la policía. Las vicisitudes del trabajo de campo me llevaron a reflexionar sobre los retos, desafíos y gestión emocional implicados en el quehacer antropológico. En este artículo presento las reflexiones derivadas de la experiencia etnográfica con la policía y las y los jóvenes, exponiendo algunos de los hallazgos principales en la indagación de las relaciones que se tejen entre ambos actores y las implicaciones de la policía, como agente territorial de Estado, en la configuración de subjetividades juveniles en contextos de pobreza y violencia urbanas.
