description Ciudad Juárez-Mexico, like many other cities, concentrates its identity constitution processes in scenarios and spaces of disagreement between what is experienced, what is thought, and daily expectations. Bordering northern Mexico, the city has endured periods of public insecurity and violence in recent decades, such as femicides and the "war" against organized crime. However, at the same time, during the final two decades of the twentieth century to date, a socio-cultural manifestation emerged concerning professional football (soccer): the citizens identification with the highest national circuit’s teams. Juárez has been historically characterized as a region fond of baseball, basketball and athletics, with a certain rejection of soccer, especially due to its distance from the center and south of the country, where soccer is more firmly stablished. The article aims to describe some socio-cultural prints, as representations of soccer and the city. They are inscribed in an identity conformation of violence, but also of hope and exaltation, involving processes that articulate migration, duality, the centralism-regionalism dyad, national and international influences and meanings.

Bordering northern Mexico, the city has endured periods of public insecurity and violence in recent decades, such as femicides and the "war" against organized crime. However, at the same time, during the final two decades of the twentieth century to date, a socio-cultural manifestation emerged concerning professional football (soccer): the citizens identification with the highest national circuit’s teams. Juárez has been historically characterized as a region fond of baseball, basketball and athletics, with a certain rejection of soccer, especially due to its distance from the center and south of the country, where soccer is more firmly stablished. The article aims to describe some socio-cultural prints, as representations of soccer and the city. They are inscribed in an identity conformation of violence, but also of hope and exaltation, involving processes that articulate migration, duality, the centralism-regionalism dyad, national and international influences and meanings. Ciudad Juárez-México, como otras tantas ciudades, concentran sus procesos de constitución identitaria entre escenarios y espacios encontrados, entre lo que se vive, se piensa y aquello a lo que se aspira de manera cotidiana. Frontera al norte de México, ha experimentado en las últimas décadas periodos de inseguridad pública y violencias, como los feminicidios y la «guerra» contra el crimen organizado. Pero, a la vez, durante las dos décadas finales del siglo XX y el XXI hasta la fecha, ha visto surgir una manifestación sociocultural en relación con el futbol profesional: la identificación con los equipos que han participado en el máximo circuito nacional. Juárez se ha caracterizado como una región aficionada al beisbol, el baloncesto y el atletismo, con cierto rechazo al futbol, sobre todo por su lejanía con el centro y el sur del país, donde este tiene un mayor arraigo. Aquí se describen algunas estampas socioculturales, a modo de representaciones sobre el futbol y la ciudad. Estas se inscriben en una conformación identitaria entre el ser y vivir entornos de violencia, pero también de esperanza y exaltación, procesos que articulan lo migratorio, la dualidad, la díada centralismo-regionalismo, la influencia y el sentido entre lo nacional y lo internacional. 2021-12-30 2022-03-17T17:21:12Z 2022-03-17T17:21:12Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo evaluado por pares http://publicaciones.claeh.edu.uy/index.php/cclaeh/article/view/508 10.29192/claeh.40.2.14 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/46225 spa http://publicaciones.claeh.edu.uy/index.php/cclaeh/article/view/508/409 Derechos de autor 2021 Cuadernos del Claeh http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 application/pdf Universidad Centro Latinoamericano de Economía Humana (Universidad CLAEH) Cuadernos del Claeh; Vol. 40 Núm. 114 (2021); 227-244 2393-5979 0797-6062
