FREIDIN, Betina; BALLESTEROS, Matías S.; KRAUSE, Mercedes  y  WILNER, Agustín. Territorial stigmatization and health: Experiences of social inequality in the periphery of Buenos Aires. Estud. demogr. urbanos [online]. 2020, vol.35, n.1, pp.153-183.  Epub 23-Abr-2020. ISSN 2448-6515.  https://doi.org/10.24201/edu.v35i1.1857.

We address the experiences of territorial stigmatization and their impact on health among a group of women who live in a working class-neighborhood of the periphery of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Data come from focus groups conducted during 2015 and 2016 and from interviews with neighborhood representatives. We reconstruct macro and meso-social processes of structural discrimination that produce place based disadvantages, vulnerabilities, risks, and that also contribute to the neighbor hood stigmatization. We analyze the responsibilities allocated to the neighbors and external actors. In addition, we account for some individual and collective strategies to face the territorial stigmatization.

Palabras llave : territorial stigmatization; health; structural discrimination; Buenos Aires.
