Abstract

MACIAS, Yolanda. “The things one does for friends”: sensitive links of living in the night of the central city and the suburban night in Mexico City. Forum Sociológico [online]. 2023, n.43, pp.67-75.  Epub Dec 22, 2023. ISSN 0872-8380.  https://doi.org/10.4000/sociologico.11913.

This paper seeks to establish linkages between the night of the central city and the suburban one in the Metropolitan Zone of Mexico City. The methodology draws up on in depth interviews with participants from the central city and the suburbs, focusing on barriers to engaging in nightlife, such as gender and economic factors. Furthermore, the hierarchization of nightlife spaces and its impact on the sensibilities is explored. The results indicate that differences in sensibilities, related to socio-spatial segregation, influence how nightlife is experienced and how friendship ties are configurated. This article contributes to the understanding of the night as an integral urban phenomenon through sensitivities and emotional ties.

Keywords : emotional ties; night leisure.
