Cities - neighborhood, not geto, not misery villas

Abstract

This work addresses the various plots under which social marginality is involved. Here we determine the discrepancies between Cities-Barrio, Villas Miseria and Ghetto, through the comparative analysis of the three forms of urban enclaves and their theoretical characterizations. This element has a decisive character in the study of the Cities-Neighborhood, because it puts in tension multiple denominations, some in our opinion erroneous, that weigh on these neighborhoods. We address the institutional logics of the Ghetto and the City-Neighborhoods are different and differential, establishing the conceptual discrepancies between City-Neighborhoods, Poor Villages and the Ghetto. Finally, we analyze the problem from the review of theoretical definitions of these sites of social relegation: the legal anchor of each one, the genealogy of the conformation of the Ghettos, the Cities-Neighborhood and the Villages Miseria, the infrastructure of each site and identities that operate within a social makeup. We conclude that there is a marked relationship between the State and stigmatized social identities.
