本文结合统计分析与定性研究，探讨集体暴力的动态，在其最经常发生的形式之一-食品骚乱。使用原始数据集收集的作者在2001年12月发生在阿根廷的289食物骚乱事件，文章认为有必要解剖当地的，上下文化的事件的内在动力。我们发现三个重要因素之间存在着显著的相互关系：警察的存在或不存在，政党经纪人的存在或不存在，以及被抢劫的市场类型（大/连锁或小/本地）。然后，我们进行了定性和人种学分析，以说明这些相互作用可能会发挥出两个理想类型的抢劫场景-一个说明了公共当局在大型连锁超市的作用，另一个显示了党的经纪人在小型，当地食品市场的重要性。最后，我们呼吁进行更多的此类研究，以更好地了解各种形式的集体暴力所涉及的机制和过程，特别是国家权力与政党政治之间的关系。
This article combines a statistical analysis with qualitative research to investigate the dynamics of collective violence in one of its most recurrent forms - the food riot. Using an original dataset collected by the authors on 289 food riot episodes occurring in Argentina in December 2001, the article argues for the need to dissect the local, contextualized innerdynamics of the episodes. We find significant interrelationships between three important factors: the presence or absence of police, the presence or absence of political party brokers, and the type of market looted (big/chain or small/local). We then conduct a qualitative and ethnographic analysis to illustrate how these interactions might play out in two ideal type looting scenes - one illustrating the role of public authorities at big, chain supermarkets, the other showing the importance of party brokers at small, local food markets. We conclude by calling for more such research to better understand the mechanisms and processes, especially the relationship between state power and party politics, involved with all forms of collective violence.
