Abstract

This article we will attempt to improve the current analysis of what is called by Daniel Feierstein as genocidal social practices. The reference point is a neighborhood in the Buenos Aires suburbs, Argentina, where exist constant police violence, daily discrimination, isolation as part of the identity, and the terror moves through different ways of socialization and neighborhood associations. These practices are gauged and shaped in a different context than the one experienced during the last Argentine genocide, but they are part of its continuation, and instead of producing a reduction of these practices, there is an increase in their complexity and breakdown of their systematization.
