"Excluidos por excelencia" : Revisiones de un concepto para el caso de los habitantes de la calle

La problemática del "habitar la calle", es decir, la situación que actualmente atraviesan miles de personas y familias de tener que pasar noches y días en las calles de la ciudad, es un fenómeno cada vez más notorio en nuestro país y en las grandes ciudades del planeta. En el mundo académico se ha intentado realizar un acercamiento a esta cuestión desde múltiples enfoques y conceptos; uno de ellos es el de exclusión social. Este concepto nacido en el continente europeo, en la década del ochenta, a partir de la crisis que atravesó la sociedad salarial, es retomado en América Latina en los años 90. Actualmente es ampliamente utilizado para comprender las situaciones de extrema pobreza y precariedad laboral. Precisamente, en este artículo se propone un acercamiento a ciertos aspectos de la experiencia del "habitar la calle" a través de la exploración del concepto de exclusión social. Esta noción, que expresa la situación de los "excluidos" del mundo social, es revisada a partir del caso de los habitantes de la calle, generalmente considerados como los "excluidos por excelencia".
