| description | The article presents the results of ethnographic research on some of the particularities presented by life policies in contexts of urban poverty. This is a research project developed between 2013 and 2016 in the metropolitan region of Buenos Aires, in the town of José León Suárez. One of the particularly relevant dimensions of poverty governability is violence. It focuses on the analysis of situations and events that express a modulation of life, which we propose to call violence towards life, thus denoting the relational and political power of violence. We present and reflect on the tensions that these situations acquire, understanding that they are part of the web of the government as it is assembled daily in these neighborhoods of the metropolitan city. Ethnographic research is the key to deepening the study and understanding of the microphysical modes assumed by life policies in contemporary metropolises.

El artículo expone resultados de investigación etnográfica acerca de algunas de las particularidades que presentan las políticas sobre la vida en contextos de pobreza urbana. Se trata de un trabajo de investigación desarrollado entre 2013 y 2016 en la localidad de José León Suárez, Región Metropolitana de Buenos Aires. Una de las dimensiones particularmente relevantes que plantea la gubernamentabilidad de la pobreza es la de la violencia. Aquí se focaliza en el análisis de situaciones y acontecimientos que expresan una modulación de la vida que proponemos denominar como violencia hacia la vida, denotando así el poder relacional y político de la violencia. Presentamos y reflexionamos en torno a las tensiones que adquieren estas situaciones, entendiendo que constituyen parte de la trama del gobierno tal como se ensambla cotidianamente en estos barrios de la urbe metropolitana. La investigación etnográfica es clave para profundizar en el estudio y la comprensión de los modos microfísicos que asumen las políticas sobre la vida en las metrópolis contemporáneas.
