Una aproximación a los procesos de politización de una víctima inocente: el crimen de Blas Caminos Berton, María Fernanda Victims Police Violence Politics Víctimas Violencia Policial Política In this article, I propose to analyze the social processes arising from the death of a seventeen-year-old boy at the hands of the police in Córdoba (Argentina) in August 2020, during the Preventive and Mandatory Social Distancing declared by the Covid-19 pandemic. From the observation and description of the network of relationships between the victim's relatives and state agencies, public officials and professional political actors, I seek to account for the specificities of the case, and how these current and pre-incident social relations determine the way in which a crime becomes a case, and a case becomes a social, judicial and political cause. Using an actor-perspective approach, I explore the interactions between victims of police violence, state agencies and professional political actors in order to highlight the importance of the ethnographic perspective in the study of politics and the state. Through a comparative exercise, I analyze the moralities and social classifications that surround victims, and how these categorizations intervene in social and political practices, making certain claims legitimate, and enabling certain institutional and governmental processes. En este artículo, propongo analizar los procesos sociales suscitados a partir de la muerte de un joven de diecisiete años a manos de la policía de Córdoba (Argentina) en agosto del 2020, durante el Distanciamiento Social Preventivo y Obligatorio declarado por la pandemia del Covid-19. A partir de la observación y descripción de la red de relaciones entre los familiares de la víctima con agencias estatales, funcionarios públicos y actores de la política profesional, busco dar cuenta de las especificidades del caso, y de cómo estas relaciones sociales actuales y previas al hecho determinan el modo en que un crimen se convierte en caso, y un caso en una causa social, judicial y política. Desde un enfoque que privilegia la perspectiva de los actores, indago en las interacciones entre víctimas de la violencia policial, agencias estatales y actores de la política profesional, a los fines de poner de relieve la importancia de la perspectiva etnográfica en el estudio de la política y el estado. A partir de un ejercicio comparativo, analizo las moralidades y clasificaciones sociales que envuelven a las víctimas, y cómo estas categorizaciones intervienen en las prácticas sociales y políticas tornando legítimos ciertos reclamos, y posibilitando ciertos procesos institucionales y gubernamentales.
