MARTINEZ CANALES, Luis Alejandro y MARTINEZ GONZALEZ, Berenice. Youth and Groups in Marginal Neighborhoods of Monterrey: Approaches to the Contingency of Life and Self-Precariousness. Frontera norte [online]. 2022, vol.34, e2294. Epub 10-Feb-2023. ISSN 2594-0260. https://doi.org/10.33679/rfn.v1i1.2294.
The article analyzes the perceptions of young men and women who intervene in popular and marginal enclaves of the Monterrey metropolitan area, by means of educational and art projects. Conceptually I refer to them as cultural producers as they imagine their own autonomous production. This process, expressed in different modes of subjectivation, is also an instrument that constitutes functional effects of the biopolitical governmentality of western societies. The young members of the collectives go through a variety of aspects with their actions, such as political and cultural self-organization, forms of collaboration, and paid employment. The approach is based on the “contingency of life”, and the “precariousness of oneself” as ambivalent forms of self-government that oscillate between self-exploitation and modes of subjectivation, from which these groups perceive the risks and opportunities of the city as actionable and moldable.
