Narratives, memories and imaginaries of violence at Hilario Sánchez neighborhood, Managua- Nicaragua: Ethnographic notes from the origin of the conflict

Abstract

This scientific article is a synthesis of the empirical results of the first chapter of the monographic work to qualify for the Bachelor’s degree in Social Anthropology, at the National Autonomous University of Nicaragua, which I titled: Re-existing and building on violence: narratives, memories and imaginaries of scrap families, developed between 2016 and 2017, in the Hilario Sánchez neighborhood, one of the 84 neighborhoods that make up District IV of the Managua municipality. The objective is to analyze the origins of the violence in the Hilario Sánchez neighborhood, specifically prosecuted in scrap families, identified as undesirable. Therefore, ethnographic techniques were used in the analysis of the memory and narratives of the inhabitants of the neighborhood, revealing the events that marked an entire community, finding the connectors that extrapolated and weakened social relations in the context, marginalizing a group of families that did not meet adequate standards of living, from different perceptions.
