| description | The article addresses the local narratives on insecurity of the residents of a neighborhood in the south of the city of Buenos Aires. The characteristics of local narratives on the problem are analyzed from a qualitative analysis based on in-depth interviews, and from the perspective of the sociology of public problems. From then, this paper seeks to contribute to studies about perception of crime and unsafety, in a sort of double approach: on the one hand, recovering the contributions of studies on personal narratives, and on the other hand, as part of the sociology of public problems. However, by focusing on the local (not personal) narratives of a neighborhood (and not on a national scale), it delves into the way in which the actors weave narratives that give meaning and intelligibility to the problem. Thus, we find two antagonistic views, which draw differential diagnoses around the “villain” (the delinquent), the causes that generate the problem as well as those responsible for eradicating it and the measures to be implemented. We call them macro-social narratives about the problem and micro- and meso-social narratives. |

El artículo aborda las narrativas locales sobre la inseguridad de los habitantes de un barrio del sur de Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires. A partir de un estudio cualitativo basado en entrevistas en profundidad, se analizan las características de las narrativas locales sobre la problemática. El trabajo busca aportar a los estudios sobre percepción del delito y la inseguridad, mediante una suerte de doble corrimiento: por un lado, recupera los aportes de estudios sobre narrativas personales; por otro, se inscribe en la sociología de los problemas públicos. No obstante, al centrarse en las narrativas locales (no personales) de un barrio (y no una escala nacional), se profundiza en el modo en que los actores urden narrativas que otorgan sentido e inteligibilidad a la problemática. Así, se hallan dos miradas antagónicas, que trazan diagnósticos diferenciales en torno al “villano” (el delincuente), las causas que generan el problema, así como los responsables de erradicarlo y las medidas que deben implementarse. Las denominamos narrativas macrosociales acerca del problema y narrativas micro y mesosociales. O artigo aborda as narrativas locais sobre a insegurança dos moradores de um bairro ao sul da Cidade Autônoma de Buenos Aires. A partir de um estudo qualitativo baseado em entrevistas em profundidade, são analisadas as características das narrativas locais sobre o problema. O trabalho busca contribuir para os estudos sobre a percepção do crime e da insegurança, por meio de uma espécie de dupla jornada: por um lado, recupera as contribuições dos estudos sobre narrativas pessoais; por outro, faz parte da sociologia dos problemas públicos. No entanto, ao focar nas narrativas locais (não pessoais) de um bairro (e não em escala nacional), aprofunda a forma como os atores tecem narrativas que dão sentido e inteligibilidade ao problema. Assim, há duas visões antagônicas, que traçam diagnósticos diferenciais em torno do “vilão” (o criminoso), as causas que geram o problema, bem como os responsáveis por sua erradicação e as medidas que devem ser implementadas. Chamamos-lhes narrativas macrossociais sobre o problema e narrativas micro e mesossociais.
