In this paper we will exhibit some questions and reflections that emerge from our final work of the Bachelor’s degree in Sociology of the UNVM, which was to investigate the place occupying the violence in the configuration of the logical identity of the popular sectors taking as a case the the group of football fans of the Club Atlético Belgrano de Córdoba. The paper is divided into two parts that are intimately related: on the one hand we will propose a “thick description” on the complex inner universe of the fans of Belgrano. We will explain its sociological most relevant characteristics as well as the power relations that structure its current organization and operation logic. And in a second part we will deepen in the native notion of “aguante” as fundamental resource to understand the logical identity that the fans of Belgrano constructed from violent practices. From the “sociological imagination”, this article proposes to think from the existing intersections between the macro-structural processes and the specificities of the case, only from this area will outline a comprehensive explanation of a phenomenon as complex and elusive.Downloads
