Violencia y movimientos armados en Guerrero

Abstract

this article explores the situation of violence in the state of Guerrero. From the violent events in the city of Iguala in 2014 against students of the Normal Rural Raul Isidro Burgos de Ayotzinapa, the attention of both academia and public opinion focused on this entity to try to account for this violence, which in Zizek’s words, could be defined as subjective. However, the state of Guerrero has a historical relationship with the violence that represents the root, not only of what happened in the so-called “night of Iguala”, but also of other types of violence that we might call objective or structural. This article offers an approximation to this historical dimension of violence in an entity considered, not only as the most violent, also the poorest in Mexico.
