Looked at me bad. Agressiveness and violence among girls

Abstract

This article aims to make render visible the particular practices of childhood (Fernández, 2014) in a group of girls by digging in a certain form of violence and aggressiveness that characterizes them; also, investigate their link with socio–territorial conditions in the neighbourhood where they live, from a gender perspective. This essay is the result of a work–experience with a group of girls aged from 10 to 14 in the context of a socio–community system in a Municipality. After an elaboration around the concepts of territory, aggressiveness and gender as cross–sectional categories, tools to analyze the practice, the notions of tenderness and sorority were introduced as possible restorative mechanisms.
