In this article we propose to analyze the activity of a group of people, residents of a neighborhood in the south of the city of Buenos Aires, who make insecurity their area of intervention, exercise and "work", whom we call alert neighbors. From a qualitative perspective based on in-depth interviews with those involved in the process studied, and participatory observation in the scenarios where they circulate, we describe the profiles of the alert neighbors, the repertoire of activities that they carry out, the relationships they establish among themselves and with other actors, the bonds of coordination and conflict that they establish in this course, as well as the situations of interaction in which this role comes into play. We find that there is a shared repertoire of activities performed by these actors, varied within certain limits. Also, that the role of alert neighbor is subject to constant negotiation and redefinition, in the instances of meeting with various institutional authorities in charge of security. |

En este artículo nos proponemos analizar la actividad de un conjunto de actores, residentes de un barrio del sur de la ciudad de Buenos Aires, que hacen de la inseguridad su ámbito de intervención, de ejercicio y de “trabajo”, a quienes denominamos –provisoriamente– vecinos en alerta. Desde una perspectiva cualitativa basada en la realización de entrevistas en profundidad con los actores implicados en el proceso estudiado y observación participante en los múltiples escenarios por donde circulan, reconstruimos los perfiles de los vecinos en alerta, el repertorio de actividades que llevan adelante, las relaciones que establecen entre sí y con otros actores, los lazos de coordinación y conflicto que entablan en este transcurso, así como las situaciones de interacción en las que este rol entra en juego. Hallamos que hay un repertorio compartido de actividades que desempeñan estos actores, variado dentro de ciertos límites. También, que el rol de vecino en alerta está sujeto a una constante negociación y redefinición, en las instancias de encuentro con diversas autoridades institucionales encargadas de la seguridad.

Neste artigo propomos analisar a atividade de um grupo de atores, moradores de um bairro no sul da cidade de Buenos Aires, que tornam a questão da insegurança sua área de intervenção, exercício e "trabalho", a quem chamamos de vizinhos em alerta. Do ponto de vista qualitativo, baseado na realização de entrevistas em profundidade com os atores envolvidos no processo estudado e observações participantes nos múltiplos cenários em que circulam, reconstruímos os perfis dos vizinhos em alerta, o repertório de atividades realizadas, as relações que estabelecem entre si e com outros atores, os vínculos de coordenação e conflito que eles estabelecem neste curso, bem como as situações de interação nas quais esse papel entra em jogo. Descobrimos que há um repertório compartilhado de atividades realizadas por esses atores, variadas dentro de certos limites. Além disso, que o papel de vizinho em alerta está sujeito a constante negociação e redefinição nas instâncias do encontro com várias autoridades institucionais encarregadas da segurança.
