Abstract

GALAR, Santiago. The security agenda under review: shocking cases, issues and public problems in Argentina's democratic period (1983-2016). Sociohistórica [online]. 2016, n.37, pp.07-10. ISSN 1852-1606.

The article explores the emergence of issues and the formation of public problems that constitute the security agenda in Argentina in the democratic stage from processes associated to the public problematisation of violent deaths constituted as shocking cases. The analysis integrates reconstructions of shocking cases in the register of public action with a review of research from social sciences presenting dimensions of violent death and problems related to national security agenda. As a point of arrival we emphasize the capacity that currently expresses insecurity to absorb and integrate dimensions, a problem which it is constituted as a privileged cultural script for the understanding of violence, which synthesizes social meanings of risk and serves as a platform for political demand for large segments of the public
