description The following text is based on the idea that social vulnerability has a symbolic dimension that has been disregarded by investigations that embrace this analytical focus, and that this needs to be emphasized in a theoretical way. After a brief introduction about the focus known as “vulnerability-active-opportunities,” the article uses concepts of symbolic power, symbolic violence, and the social verdict to outline a theory of symbolic vulnerability. For the sake of clarity and in order to strengthen the argument, this article brings forth examples of its own empirical research, from texts of self-analysis of various authors, and of current news.

El presente texto se articula en torno a la idea que la vulnerabilidad social tiene una dimensión simbólica que ha sido desdeñada en las investigaciones que se acogen a este enfoque analítico y que es teóricamente necesario enfatizar. Tras una breve presentación del enfoque conocido como “vulnerabilidad-activo-oportunidades”, el texto se apoya en los conceptos de poder simbólico, violencia simbólica y veredicto social para perfilar una teoría de la vulnerabilidad simbólica. En aras de la claridad y de dar mayor fuerza al argumento, se presentan ejemplos de una investigación empírica propia, de algunos textos de autoanálisis de varios autores y de noticias de actualidad. Descriptores: vulnerabilidad simbólica; subjetivación; poder simbólico; injuria; exclusión. O presente texto articula-se em torno da ideia de que a vulnerabilidade social tem uma dimensão simbólica que tem sido negligenciada nas pesquisas que abraçam essa abordagem analítica e que é teoricamente necessária enfatizar. Após uma breve apresentação da abordagem conhecida como "vulnerabilidade-ativo-oportunidades", o texto baseia-se nos conceitos de poder simbólico, violência simbólica e veredicto social para delinear uma teoria da vulnerabilidade simbólica. Por uma questão de clareza e para dar maior força ao argumento, apresentamos exemplos de uma pesquisa empírica própria, alguns textos de autoanálise de vários autores e de notícias atuais.
