Abstract

Studies on masculinities allow to account for the complex processes and practices that configure being a man in a given place and time, allowing the development of multiple approaches, which in the present study are based on intersectionality in masculinities, observing oppressions and privileges. This research aims to: Unveil the relationship between the social construction of certain configurations of masculinity and its complex relationship with the problematic consumption of psychoactive substances, from a phenomenological perspective from the voices and experiences of young men from Talcahuano. The present research is based on a qualitative approach to the phenomenon, with a phenomenological approach, using the ethnographic interview technique and with a data analysis from the grounded theory. Concluding that neighborhood masculinity is a complex and contradictory identity, which exercises power by placing itself in a privileged way in the neighborhood context and that for its own construction it needs the consumption of psychoactive substances.

Keywords:
