Abstract

The study was conducted in a vulnerable and popular neighbourhood of the Metropolitan District of Quito, where violent networks are deteriorating social relations. It is in this context that we try to record multiple violence, its uses and forms from the point of view of the actors themselves. It recovers the voices within (actors), joined to outsiders (researcher) in a collaborative effort to rebuild the network of meanings around violence.
