Resumo

ALVAREZ-ALVAREZ, William A.; ROMERO-TENORIO, José M.  e  VILLADIEGO-ALVAREZ, Paulo. Transperiferism, Necropolitics and social suffering. Experimental ethnography on the living conditions of Venezuelan immigrants in the Colombian Caribbean. Rev. salud pública [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.2, pp.1-.  Epub 02-Set-2021. ISSN 0124-0064.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rsap.v23n2.88485.

Objective

In this research we explore the cruelty and suffering experienced by a high percentage of Venezuelan immigrants who live in an irregular settlement called Villa Caracas on the outskirts of Barranquilla. Our main objective focused on analyzing from an anthropological and philosophical perspective the condition of the human, the pain that takes shape because of the extreme material precariousness manifested in the transnational migratory flow between Venezuela and Colombia.

Method

Through an ethnography extended for about 6 months applying participant observation, semi-structured interviews and life stories, we describe the social suffering that the immigrant experiences in their transit, settlement and daily survival.

Result

Based on the research, we formulate the concept of trans-periphery as a cate-gory that transversally encompasses the migratory phenomenon in cities.
