La primera comunión de la que nos habla este libro nos da precisamente unaclave para entender el mundo católico del siglo xx, sobre todo en los paíseslatinos y en el México urbano de clase media.
This paper introduces preliminary works on building an experimental end-user evaluation for dual-user haptic systems for hands-on training. Such systems bring together the advantages of haptic computer-based training systems and those of supervised training where an expert trainer actively helps in the learning process. The first results mainly per...
Resumen: El enfoque situacional revisa secuencias de acontecimientos en los que participa un conjunto de actores; capta la realidad social en movimiento y distingue entre tipos de relaciones sociales: estructuradas, categoriales y redes personalizadas. Aunado al "método del caso exten-dido", ese enfoque se desarrolló en estudios clásicos en los cua...
En el número previo de Encartes se publicó la primera parte de estos testimonios. En ella, Rodolfo Stavenhagen habló de episodios de su niñez y primera juventud: los primeros años en México, el descubrimiento de la antropología y las experiencias con el indigenismo. Esta segunda parte salta a la década de 1960: la formación doctoral en París, segui...
Rodolfo Stavenhagen (1932-2016) fue uno de los científicos sociales más importantes en la América Latina de las últimas seis décadas. Le tocó vivir y participar en momentos y escenarios significativos en la historia de México y el mundo: de “tiempos interesantes”, diría Eric Hobsbawm (aludiendo al proverbio chino: “Dios nos libre de tiempos interes...
Situational analysis examines sequences of events, in which a specific group of actors takes part. It captures social reality in movement and distinguishes between various kinds of social relations: structural, categorical, and personal networks. This perspective, complemented by “the extended case study method,” was developed in classic studies, w...
This chapter analyzes the impact of the conditional cash-transfer program, Oportunidades, on Indigenous children’s access to education in seven Mexican cities. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in 2010 and 2011, which included observations and interviews with members of Indigenous households, the author describes the interfaces among program employee...
O estereótipo sobre a antropologia mexicana do século XX é que ela se dedica ao estudo e à exaltação das comunidades indígenas e, quando se fala de comunidades indígenas, alude-se a localidades nucleares, pequenas e corporativas. No entanto, aqui tratarei de outro tipo de pesquisa antropológica mexicana: a que tem focalizado o estudo das cidades, t...
In 1992 and 2001, the National Congress of Mexico approved several amendments to the constitution concerning the legal status and rights of indigenous peoples. However, the specific institutional aspects and practical implications of these changes were left to state legislatures, which have responded slowly and unevenly. A particular problem has be...

Guillermo de la Peña analyzes the changeable relations of power in the south of Jalisco, which before the Revolution were characterized for their respect for regional dominance and later changes because of the modernization of transportation and communication, and the struggle between factions where new political personalities appeared. He also com...
This article focuses on the recent Mexican controversy about the legal status of the indigenous population and the nature of nationalism, which is linked to recent constitutional amendments and new policy strategies. Changes in legislation and policy are examined in the context of a widespread economic and political crisis of the populist regime af...
Throughout the twentieth century, social and cultural policies toward indigenous peoples in Latin America have been closely related to indigenismo, an ideological movement that denounced the exploitation of aboriginal groups and strove for the cultural unity and the extension of citizenship through social integration and “acculturation.” This revie...
En este trabajo se revisa el concepto clásico de comunidad, recuperando y adaptando el sentido weberiano de la comunidad moral para describir, a través de la comparación de dos casos etnográficos (migrantes alteños y otomíes del estado de Jalisco, Méjico), cómo opera la construcción social de la pertenencia y la identidad -religiosa en un caso y ét...
Social citizenship, understood as the exercise of a body of rights to welfare which the state — in representation of society — grants all human beings as a guarantee of their dignity, has become a key component of modern democracy (Marshall 1964).1 However, the acceptance of social citizenship was a long and difficult process. As Bryan Turner (1990...
INTRODUCTION
Political mobilization and social violence have been recurrent phenomena in rural Latin America in the twentieth century. The enormous diversity in these phenomena represents a major challenge for anyone attempting to analyse them from a single perspective or with the purpose of drawing generalizations. However, it is possible to find...
Emphasis is placed on the relations between the Highlands and the lowland region near by. In addition, attention is paid to the role of the State throughout different periods of time in so far as it provides a conditioning frame for the use of resources and for the emergence of basic social categories. Considers local participation in and some cruc...
