PIEDRAHITA ARCILA, Irene  e  GIL RAMIREZ, Max Yuri. Polyphonic Readings of Urban Violence: State of the Art on Research’s Done in Medellin Between 2010 and 2015. Soc. Econ. [online]. 2017, n.32, pp.147-170. ISSN 1657-6357.

This article presents a characterization of academic production done about the dynamics of urban violence in Medellin between 2010 and 2015. For this purpose, the main theoretical approaches present in research, the methodologies used and the most recurrent explanatory hypotheses are identified. The variables in terms of actors, modalities of victimization, territories and populations that have suffered the impact of violence and forms of unarmed civil resistance are also identified. At the end, some topics for future work are established on issues such as: damages to population groups and social sectors; the role of the media and construction of representations; the relationship between armed political conflict and criminal dynamics; and citizens’ resistance. The study also identifies the need for establishing more comparative work.
