Abstract

RODRIGUEZ UGALDE, Diana Cecilia  and  CHAVEZ GONZALEZ, Mónica Lizbeth. Territory, gender, insecurity and re-existences: subjectivities of school personnel in contexts of violence by organized crime in Michoacán. Cultura representaciones soc [online]. 2023, vol.17, n.34, e0002003.  Epub Oct 20, 2023. ISSN 2007-8110.

The research had as objectives to investigate from the gender perspective the perceptions of security and insecurity that the school workers of a rural high school located in the Tierra Caliente region of Michoacán have, and to comparatively analyze the re-existence practices carried out by the workers before the presences, risks and violence of organized crime. It is argued that the organicity of organized crime requires as fundamental elements the patriarchal structure and the mechanisms of masculinity, and that this social, political and economic framework has scope in the re-existence practices deployed by workers of a secondary school. countryside in Michoacan. The theoretical-methodological support is based on the historical-processual understanding of gender as a device of power that establishes a sociopolitical hierarchy of the masculine class over that of the feminine. It is a qualitative study based on the ethnographic and participatory approach, with a phenomenological interpretive framework. The contributions of this study feed the early discussion on school and violence in contexts of organized crime in Mexico, based on gender analysis. Furthermore, they question the dichotomization between school and society; and they recognize the feminization of the men who inhabit this region by organized crime groups.

Keywords : territory; re-existence; gender; school; organized crime.
