I will focus on the study of some regions of Guerrero as a territory of friction in the capitalist periphery, where the tension axes of violence are condensed: struggle for the nodal points of drug transit and extraction of raw materials. In this region, some of the most severe expressions of violence, such as massive practices of disappearance and forced displacement, also take place.

Objective 1.1. Showing the cartography of the dispute over communication axes in this territory, as a result of the fragmentation of large criminal structures derived from the war on drugs strategies, which also leads towards the collusion of criminality within the institutions of the State;

Objective 1.2. Exploring the convergence, interconnection or antagonism between the technological times of war, the bureaucratic times of the state (dedicated to counting victims) and the productive times and local rituals, which are broken down by the dynamics of war, death, and forced disappearance and displacement;

Objective 1.3. Showing future horizons, future possibilities and reduction of violence around three pathways: The strategies of collective organization of the peoples and their regularization (Law 701); the legalization and regularization of drug markets (poppy and cannabis) and the greater participation of women in community dynamics.
