Abstract

This article presents the results of an ethnographic research into the ways in which the risks inherent to modernity shape subjectivities in the city of Guadalajara in different social positions. The analysis focuses on the subjects’ relationship with State institutions, work and family; on the meanings and practices that appear in the context of urban daily life marked by the expansion of the ominous; and on the conceptions of community in the context of risk. The risk is revealed as a control apparatus with a strong individualizing power, able to weaken the social agency and to exacerbate the precariousness of the common.
