Abstract

Poverty has been a relevant phenomenon in social research for years and despite the apparent intuitive clarity of the term, it has not been easy to establish what dynamics it consists of and what its dimensions are. In general, the semantics of this phenomenon has focused on quantitative measures based on insufficient income and other deficiencies; that, although they allow determining and classifying the poor, they leave aside the subjective, symbolic and relational aspects that operate in their appearance, reproduction and diversification. In this framework, this article tries to theorize and problematize poverty as a grievance experience that can be read as a problem that can be analyzed from a logic that involves redistribution and recognition. It shows how this phenomenon, in addition to being a problem of a socio-economic nature, can also be understood as a moral offense constituted by a lack of recognition that is expressed in both a public and a social sphere.
