Abstract

The objetive of the article was to analyze the binary narrative of some of the protagonists of the armed conflict in Hot Land Michoacan, which helped to reconstruct the meaning of the violent social action of the self defense groups and the criminal groups, which they exercised through dispossession and the colecction of quotas its domain against the population, in complicity with the local authorities. The study of the binary narrative (good/bad, lagal/illegal, open/closed) was to highlight that the meaning of the social representation of public insecurite, was in the linking of criminal groups with violence. In this case, criminal violence as a method of terror and dead was to guarantee social dispossession, while the armed violence of the self defense groups aimed to destroy it. And the government´s violence only restored a new local police order with the participation of the self defense groups.
