This article argues that violent masculinities are not isolated subjectivities, they are imbricated in economic, political and cultural power dynamics; therefore, it is important to consider the logics of power that produce them. This investigation is based on an ethnography that explores the construction of violent masculinities based on the life histories of seven men from Lima between the ages of 31 and 55 who committed acts of violence against their partners and who attended the Institutional Care Center (CAI-Breña, Lima-Peru). The analysis starts from the intersection of daily practices in childhood and adolescence and the socioeconomic and cultural consumption logics, specifically games and television, using three conceptual fields: hegemonic masculinity, violence, and the ecological model of violence, which allows us to recognize multiple relational factors.
