BONVILLANI, ANDREA. "NEGROS DE ALMA". RACIALIZED IMAGINARIES AND JUVENICIDE, IN CÓRDOBA DE LAS CAMPANAS. Tabula Rasa [online]. 2019, n.31, pp.325-346. ISSN 1794-2489. https://doi.org/10.25058/20112742.n31.13.
This paper aims at moving forward argumentatively in the hypothesis that repressive control on youth from popular areas in Córdoba (Argentina) -a part of the security policy from provincial government leading to youth homicide practices- shows the effectiveness of a racialized imaginary, which has its roots in the conservative local cultural ethos. Its privileged enclaves are overarching Catholic religiosity and a highly valued controlling white minority culture, as untouchable social hierarchies. Following a qualitative analysis of a corpus drawn from varied current communication and expression sources (Facebook, opinion blogs) I was able to identify the «black» signifier within the Cordoban racist narrative. This works as a contempt display triggered from assumptions of poverty, immorality and dangerousness, all of which shows a historical sedimentation of these racialized imaginaries engraved in Argentina's foundational project as a modern, white, and civilized nation.
