The Narconovela and Crime in Colombia: 40 Years after La Mala Hierba
Carolina Galindo, 2025, original scientific article

Abstract: This article analyses the origins of the narconovela (narcosoap opera) in Colombia, focusing on the controversy caused, at the start of the 1980’s, by the soap opera entitled La mala hierba (The Evil Weed). Through an analysis of its reception during the time it was on the air, some links with the current discussion about this genre will be established, along with some links with its impact on the legitimization of narcotics trafficking and crime in Colombia and Latin America in recent years.
Keywords: narconovela (narco-soap opera), drug trafficking in Colombia, crime, Latin America

Crime, Women and Information and Communications Technologies: Everyday Management of Insecurity in Santiago and Buenos Aires
Brenda Focas, Alejandra Luneke, 2025, original scientific article

Abstract: In recent decades, crime has become a public concern and a daily issue in Latin America. While much research has focused on organized crime and crime prevention, less attention has been given to how crime affects the everyday lives of young women in cities. This study, based on interviews with women in Santiago, Chile, and Buenos Aires, Argentina, reveals that their primary concerns are street harassment and sexual crimes, which mainly impact their mobility in the city. Women avoid relying on mass media for information, instead turning to their mothers and grandmothers as primary sources of knowledge and fear. Chilean women express higher levels of concern, significantly restricting their activities, particularly leisure, compared to Argentine women. Despite these differences, women in both countries have adopted technologies for self-protection, although their lives remain deeply affected by the fear of crime.

Economy of Death: The Grey Zone, CannibalWar Machine and Capitalist Accumulation in Latin America
Antonio Fuentes Díaz, Panagiotis Doulos, 2025, original scientific article

Abstract: This article argues, based on the analysis of extortion and criminal governance in México, that criminal activities should be understood as a key component of contemporary capital accumulation. This criminal accumulation of capital requires the suspension of restrictions on illegal activities, generating zones of legal-illegal indistinction that allow profitability, shared sovereignties and cannibal war machines that, through violence, generate the extraction of goods, income and bodies in line with the neoliberal enterprise. This means that criminal capital carries out, in an extreme and nihilistic way, the logic of value.
