This work is grounded in my professional practice as a teacher in middle schools in vulnerable neighborhoods in the southern part of the city of Buenos Aires. In this article I will focus on the relationship between middleschool education for teenagers from vulnerable contexts and specific processes of violence and exclusion such as "slow death" and "necropolitics". The hypothesis I will present is that in certain contexts, the educational system encourages and (re)produces a politics of death that exposes these male identities to greater risk. I will also contend that this has its correlation in the construction of identities. Finally, I will suggest that critical and queer pedagogies can provide tools for resistance and transformation.

This text analyzes recent experiences with young people from Middle Schools of the city of Buenos Aires (Argentina) in Memory Sites of this city. Our inquiry is interested in the intergenerational transmission referring to the traumatic past around the last military dictatorship established in Argentina between 1976 and 1983. With this interest, two experiences designed through artistic languages are analyzed: the Posters Project from the Memory Park and the use of poetry in the guided visits to the Memory Site at "El Olimpo", former Clandestine Detention Center for Torture and Extermination, both spaces of the city of Buenos Aires.

Understanding the relationship between the project of modernity and urbanism has been key to understanding the city of Buenos Aires’ material transformations throughout the 20th century. This paper considers how thinking about the issues of modernity and urbanism from the perspective of monuments--namely, the Obelisk of Buenos Aires--sheds new light on how elements of this modernizing project were undertaken and how its material markers have been used and manipulated, and modified through their representation in cultural discourse on the city. Rethinking Buenos Aires from the Obelisk implies literally thinking from underground, from the subway lines that form its base and transform it into a popular symbol of mobility.

El presente artículo fue realizado en el marco de una investigación, referida a la relación que establecen  las familias y las escuelas de niños en situación de vulnerabilidad económico y social de la ciudad de Buenos Aires durante el 2014. El propósito del trabajo es el de analizar las creencias sobre educación y relación familia-escuela de las docentes que trabajan en estos contextos. Para ello, se utilizó una metodología de índole cualitativa en la cual se buscó describir la percepción docente en cuanto a la incidencia del contexto sociocultural en las creencias sobre educación, y cómo éstas podrían propiciar un distanciamiento entre las familias y la escuela de estos niños.  Los resultados dan cuenta de categorías que implican falta  de participación, desinterés de las familias, como también una marcada distancia sociocultural entre ambas instituciones sociales, lo cual repercute en las prácticas de los docentes. La relevancia de este artículo reside en una evaluación educativa  para detectar problemas socio-culturales a fin de establecer un diagnóstico para la creación de intervención en el vínculo de las familias y las escuelas.Abstract.This article was made as part of an investigation regarding the relationship with families and schools of children situations of economic and social vulnerability of the city of Buenos Aires in 2014.

This article traces a genealogy of sexual harassment in Buenos Aires public transport, analyzing the intersection between gender and mobility through cultural history. It focuses on the first decades of the twentieth century in which the city became a modern metropolis and women became more visible commuters using public transport. It deals with the tensions, interactions, expectations, and representations that emerged from the increasing presence of female passengers within the male imaginary and how women became a sexualized object in order to contextualize sexual harassment and explain how it became a “natural” practice over time. Finally, this article argues that the case study triggers the need to analyze gendered mobilities paying more attention to the relationship between sexuality and transport to understand passengers as sexualized bodies.

En este trabajo se analizan las transformaciones que los comedores populares –un tipo de organización social que crece exponencialmente en el barrio de La Boca, área sur de la ciudad de Buenos Aires–, han experimentado en su lógica y en sus acciones como producto de la profundización de la crisis argentina entre 1999 y 2002. En este contexto el barrio aparece como un espacio natural de acción y organización; se convierte en el lugar de interacción de distintos actores y organizaciones de base donde la militancia social territorial se reviste de nuevas características. Allí los comedores se unen a un haz, por demás heterogéneo, que reúne a otras organizaciones provenientes de diferentes horizontes políticos.Más allá de los efectos más evidentes de empobrecimiento ligados a las crisis, ¿por qué y para qué se multiplican los comedores populares? En este artículo se intenta establecer su incidencia como complemento de los recursos obtenidos por las familias de bajos ingresos y determinar otras implicaciones sociopolíticas propias de su participación en el entramado barrial. Para ello se desarrolla un análisis comparativo a partir de un sondeo en organizaciones sociales barriales y entrevistas en profundidad realizadas en los años 1999 y 2002. La caracterización de ambos momentos permite analizar algunas tendencias: los cambios en los procesos de institucionalización, las actividades que desarrollan tales organizaciones y los criterios de autoorganización o prestación de servicios.Se delimita de este modo un lugar particular que permite caracterizar la emergencia de nuevas mediaciones sociopolíticas en el contexto de la crisis. La relación con el Estado –mediante el análisis de algunos programas alimentarios que el Gobierno de la Ciudad echa a andar o que intensifica a partir de la crisis, y que tienen a estos comedores como uno de sus ejecutores privilegiados– constituye una variable clave para comprender este lugar. AbstractThis paper examines the transformations that popular kitchens –a type of social organization that has increased exponentially in the La Boca neighborhood, an area in the south of Buenos Aires–, has experienced in its logic and actions as a result of the exacerbation of the Argentinean crisis between 1999 and 2000. Within this context, the neighborhood emerges as natural sphere of action and organization, becoming a forum of interaction between various actors and grass-roots organizations where social-territorial militancy assumes a variety of characteristics. There, popular kitchens are linked to a single, heterogeneous group comprising other organizations from different political horizons.Beyond the most obvious effects of impoverishment linked to the crisis, why have popular kitchens proliferated? This article seeks to establish their incidence as a complement to the resources obtained by low-income families and to determine other socio-political implications characteristic of their participation in the neighborhood network. To this end, it undertakes a comparative analysis on the basis of a survey of neighborhood social organizations and in-depth interviews carried out in 1999 and 2002. The description of both moments enables certain trends to be analyzed: the changes in the processes of institutionalization, the activities undertaken by these organizations and the characteristics of self-organization or service provision.In this way, the authors delimit a particular place which enables the emergence of new socio-political mediations to be characterized in the context of the crisis. The relationship with the state, through the analysis of certain food programs implemented by the City Government or intensified as a result of the crisis, of which popular kitchens are a vital element, constitute a key variable for understanding this place.

This article discusses the struggles of urban social movements for a de-neoliberalisation of housing policies in Poulantzian terms as a “condensation of the relationship of forces”. Drawing on an empirical analysis of the “Berliner Mietenvolksentscheid” (Berlin rent referendum), which was partially successful in forcing the city government of Berlin to adopt a more progressive housing policy, the article argues that urban social movements have the capacity to challenge neoliberal housing regimes. However, the specific materiality of the state apparatus and its strategic selectivity both limit the scope of intervention for social movements aiming at empowerment and non-hierarchical decision-making.

The system of relationships and emotions that develop in the teaching-learning process define the complexity of teachers' education and pose the challenge of bringing out the emotional and affective culture that guides school life. Several studies on teaching practices highlight the tendency to refer to technical aspectsas a key dimension of professionalism, rather than on relational and emotional dimensions that can promote the relationship with student. The creative and unprecedented reconfiguration of professional practice is configured as the outcome of a reflexive process of subjective construction and de-construction of the profession and its development.The paper proposes a reflective training experience, which involved 76 teachers, focused on emotional and relational dimensions on teaching and based on the use of the narrative-autobiographical instruments (diary, narrative, metaphor). The results achieved in the monitoring phase show that the training offered an opportunity to reflect on oneself and one's personal and professional experience, starting from the use of alternative perspectives and interpretations than those that are already in use
