I am the Mother of the Boss here
This article explores the rarely told story of the mother of a drug dealer and gang leader. Through the relational biography of Virginia and her son, we will grasp the importance of family networks and their role in exercising violence, giving rise to contexts of what we call “lethal reciprocity” in the neighborhood. Virginia ́s story reveals the sinuosity of the exercise of power in her community through her filial bond with her son. Amid chroni…
Shoutings, Scoldings, Gossip, and Whispers
How do mothers deal with chronic violence and the constant presence of guns in their neighborhoods? How do they build situated meaning and discursive practices out of their experiences and relationships with armed actors? We compare the experiences of women in two poor and working-class neighborhoods in Caracas. Through this comparative ethnographic project, we aim to show how, in the midst of state-sponsored depredation and with an overwhelming …
Cris, réprimandes, rumeurs et murmures
Comment les mères font-elles face à la violence chronique et à la présence constante d'armes dans leurs quartiers ? Comment construisent-elles du sens situé et des pratiques discursives à partir de leurs expériences et relations avec des acteurs armés ? Nous comparons les expériences de femmes dans deux quartiers populaires de la classe ouvrière à Caracas. Dans ce projet ethnographique comparatif, nous voulons montrer comment, au milieu d'une dép…
“Everyone’s Armed Here”
Shifting Dynamics of Violence
Gobernanzas criminales en tiempos de revolución post-Chávez y legitimidad cuestionada
This paper compares the configuration of two armed territorial orders and the forms of local governance in neo-patrimonial authoritarian contexts in Caracas that suffer from what has been called a “complex humanitarian crisis”. We dialogue with the concepts of collaborative governance and criminal governance to understand how social control functions locally in an authoritarian context where a political, economic, and humanitarian crisis has rest…
Criminal Governance in Times of Post-Chávez Revolution and Questioned Legitimacy
This article compares the configuration of two armed territorial orders and forms of local governance in neo-patrimonial authoritarian contexts in Caracas that suffer from what has been called a “complex humanitarian crisis”. Based on the analysis of ethnographic data, this text dialogues with the concepts of collaborative governance and criminal governance to understand how social control functions locally in an authoritarian context where a pol…
From carceral punitivism to systematic killing
Since 2017, state security forces in Venezuela have been responsible for over 20% of violent deaths in the country. This represents an unprecedented period of state repression in the country’s history that demands examination. In this article, we argue that in order to understand the recent increase in violent deaths in Venezuela during the post-Chávez period, we must place at the center of our analysis the discourses and practices of an extremel…
Violence and territorial order in Caracas, Venezuela
Micropolitics in a Caracas Barrio
Venezuela has one of the highest rates of homicide in the Americas. Those who are dying are mostly men, and most are shot. Based on ethnographic research in poor, urban neighborhoods in Caracas, where guns are abundant and the state is absent, this article focuses on the repertoire of responses of mothers of armed young men toward violence. How are mothers responding to meet the extreme challenges of safeguarding the survival of their families? I…
Protecting the Right to Life in Venezuela
Despite gains in social and economic rights in Venezuela, both Hugo Chavez's government and that of current president Nicolas Maduro have been unable to protect perhaps the most basic right associa

Violence and Globalization in Latin America
Since the 1980s, Latin America has experienced unprecedented violence, which expresses itself in a major increase in homicide rates. After exploring different forms of violence and discussing the impoverishment which affects the region, the authors suggest that the spread of violence and crime is influenced by forces of global and local transformation which cause that violence to transcend national boundaries while reflecting the particular chara…
