Spaces and Subjectivities: Telling Trajectories of Vulnerability

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to explore how spaces and bodies labeled as "vulnerable" are produced, reproduced, and recirculated in society. Contemporary changes in understanding poverty and vulnerability set up new forms to regulate subjects through specific ways to reason cultural and social conditions. This article includes data from two research projects developed both in Chile and Argentina. In both cases, we explore how social and cultural vulnerability is produced and how bodies are produced as corresponding to these ideas. We analyze students' visual (photos and videos) and oral narratives in contexts of poverty/vulnerability in both countries.
