In the present essay we use some of the data provided by the Venezuelan Violence Observatory, punctual investigations and news reports to establish a broad framework about the spatial, temporal and circumstantial context that affects violence in Venezuela. However the main objective invites to ponder on four specific instances of violent situations experienced in first person, which in turn help to understand the wide spectrum where it un folds, the people who are affected, their reactions, the triggers reasons and the consequences it produces. Following the introduction, we do a theoretical approach to violence to clarify minimally the concept in its complex heterogeneity. We describe the broad outlines of the historical context in relation to violence in the country, as situational framework. Then offer four heterogeneous cases of violent behavior based on the experience that they allows thinking. And supported in such cases, we finally ponder to try to understand which are the keys of the phenomenon from a contextual and multicausal perspectives.Downloads
