| description | The article analyzes the relationship between the gangs, the daily violence, and the marginalization in Guatemala. This proposal considers that gangs are an exceptional example of the use of violence, and repairs in the orientation of these groups, towards the activities of transgression of law as a tool of affirmation and empowerment. The paper describes the impact of the unequal distribution of violence at the social level, it is accentuated in impoverished neighborhoods and acquired a chronic character. Finally, the article mentions social cleansing directed at the Barrio 18 and Mara Salvatrucha because this phenomenon is a manifestation of the deepening of community aggressions. The violence is used by diverse social actors, the gangs are one more case of the necropolitics reality in Guatemala. |

El artículo analiza la relación entre las pandillas, la violencia cotidiana y la marginación en Guatemala. Esta propuesta considera que las pandillas son un ejemplo excepcional del empleo de la violencia, y repara en la orientación de estos grupos, hacia las actividades de trasgresión de la legalidad como herramienta de afirmación y empoderamiento. En el documento se describe que el impacto de la desigual distribución de la violencia a nivel social, se acentúa en los barrios depauperados y adquiere un carácter crónico. Finalmente, el artículo menciona la limpieza social dirigida hacia el Barrio 18 y la Mara Salvatrucha porque este fenómeno es una manifestación de la profundización de las agresiones comunitarias. La violencia es protagonizada por diversos actores sociales, las pandillas son un caso más de la realidad necropolítica en Guatemala.
