  Grass Roots Resilience, Security Governance, and Urbanism in Latin American Violent Cities, Descrição: The aim of this research project is to understand strategies, practices, experiences and impact of various modalities of grass roots resilience against protracted or chronic urban violence and insecurity in Latin America. The main focus is on collective modes of resilience in and by communities within the so-called urban margins. However, these modes of resilience will be studied in connection to two other dimensions of urban resilience pertinent to communities in the urban margins: urban security governance, and urbanism, that is to say, socio-spatial and socio-material interventions in the urban assemblage. Thus the project combines insights from various subfields of study at the intersection of conflict studies, urban development studies, and urban political anthropology, namely (1) endemic urban violence as a hybrid form of protracted armed conflict and strategies of conflict resolution and peacemaking; (2) the socio-spatial, political andcultural dimensions of urban inequality and exclusion and the way these are entangled with violence, insecurity, and fear in (Latin American) cities; (3) urban resilience as a multi-scalar set of strategies, practices, and emerging outcomes to navigate or overcome violence, insecurity, and fear. The design of the project rests on comparative qualitative case studies in three Latin American cities that are exemplary of various modes of community resilience, in different settings of conflict and violence, and with keydifferences in their security governance and the urban assemblage. The cities are Medellín (Colombia), Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), and Guatemala City (Guatemala). The project will contribute to the current debate on the societal impact of and responses to urban violence in Latin Americas urban margins. As we will elaborate below, there is abundant and still growing scholarship on the nature and magnitude of urban violence, its protagonists, key explanatory factors, impact in urban communities, and the connection of urban violence with state security policies and criminal governance. Yet, research - through the conceptual lens of critical resilience - on the nature and impact of responses to urban violence is more recent, emerging, and as of now still lacking systematic comparative analysis, theoretical elaboration, and reflection on its societal and policy relevance... , Situação: Em andamento; Natureza: Pesquisa. , Integrantes: Bianca Valle Laurenzano - Coordenador / Palloma Valle Menezes - Integrante / kees koonings - Integrante.
