Abstract

This text analyzes Latin American peripheries, particularly those with precariousness, exclusion, and urban segregation, associated with the self-construction of housing. It begins with the processes of urban sprawl that produces the peripheries, from the perspective of the inhabitants. To this end, several axes of analysis are developed based on the inhabitants' experience of this materiality. The first axis addresses the ways of enunciating the periphery and the discursive configuration of peripheral chronotopes. A second axis is the rooting of biographies in peripheral materiality. Another axis of analysis is the tension between peripheral changes and what remains (peripheral order), even when unwanted. Then, the ways of living the time of waiting/hope are considered. It closes with a reflection on the lived periphery as a periphery movement.
