RESUMEN: Ubicado el contexto histórico-social en que se inscriben los conflictos en la ciudad de Medellín, se muestra cómo en los últimos años se ha intensificado la violencia, con rasgos típicos de guerra, calificada por algunos como “urbanización del conflicto armado”. Esta perspectiva es analizada aquí críticamente, al igual que el tratamiento dado por el gobierno nacional a la misma. La violencia urbana ha motivado estudios académicos y sus lecturas han servido de base a las políticas oficiales y programas de acción con la pretensión –hasta ahora fallida– de solucionar el problema. Las múltiples interpretaciones las hemos agrupado en cuatro grandes enfoques sobre la violencia urbana, que evaluamos en este artículo. En el cuarto enfoque, exponemos una síntesis de nuestra propuesta de acercamiento a la comprensión de los conflictos violentos de Medellín.
ABSTRACT: Located within the historical-social context in which the conflicts of the city of Medellin are registered, the intensification of violence in the last years is shown. This violence present typical characteristics of war, described by some as“the urbanization of armed conflict”. This perspective is critically analyzed here, as well as the treatment given by the national government to this problem. The urban violence has motivated academic studies and its readings serve as basis for official policies and actions with the intention –frustrated up to now– of solving the problem. We have grouped the multiple interpretations in four major approaches to urban violence, which we evaluate in this article. In the fourth perspective we present a synthesis of our proposal of approach to the understanding of the violent conflicts of Medellin.
