Construcción social, vínculos intersubjetivos y sujetos situados: el caso de los “escuadrones de la muerte” en las calles del sur de Veracruz, México

The present study is qualitative, comprehensive-narrative and supported by the assumptions of social constructionism. It sinks its roots into the subjective and everyday world of a group of subjects who are characterized by living and drinking in the streets of the southern region of Veracruz, Mexico. Culturally known as “Death Squads”. From the methodological perspective, the friendship operation and application of unstructured interviews were used. The results reveal that the context and the same group of individuals provide greater solidarity, affection and cohesion than the families of origin themselves when sharing their stories with their peers; intersubjectively linking and, consequently, persisting in the streets.
