Los antropólogos hemos dedicado pocas energías y esfuerzos al análisis de unos mundos únicos, los cafés del Puerto, tan festejados y mencionados en los discursos públicos, como desconocidos para la teoría social y la etnografía.

As ethnographers, we are often assumed to be a particular type of traveler who develops social and personal relationships for the sake of research. The assumption that ethnographers are in full control of their interactions and tasks during fieldwork, however, is false. Truth be told, our work is highly conditioned by chance, circumstance, and emot...

In this monograph, the ethnographic articles identify a tension between the invisibility / concealment and the overexposure of suffering in the lives of the people.

Introduction: The processes of globalization have a clear impact in occupational therapy.

Es el catálogo de una exposición de etnografía, pero es mucho más que un catálogo de exposición, no sólo por adoptar una perspectiva poco habitual y comprometida ni por el tipo de escritura que lo conforma.

Este volumen pretende introducir en ese debate una perspectiva de análisis tradicionalmente marginal en las aproximaciones biomédicas a la enfermedad: las narrativas de aflicción.

I identified two ways in which the Veracruz manage and live their emotions.

We are focused on the description of body configurations and emotional well-defined, which occur in contexts of intense change and displacement.

Trabajo de reflexión epistemológica y metodológica desde la lente de la Antropología de las emociones sobre dos trabajos de campo urbanos: en Recife (Brasil) y en Veracruz (México). Está escrito a cuatro manos por dos autores.

The article is an ethnographic study about the place that rhetorics and practices, related to food and sex, have in the society and social imagination...

En principio no debería extrañarnos que un pueblo que supuestamente ha gozado de una relación muy estrecha, de cercanía e inclusive de simpatía con la muerte, dedique una importante inversión de energía social, estética y ritual a rendirle pleitesía y devoción, llegando hasta el punto de construir un complejo de creencia y ritual que tiene como obj...

Un culto y práctica ritual emergente y de reciente desarrollo en México, el de la Santa Muerte, constituye un desafío para la etnografía y la teoría antropológica actual.

It is difficult to draw a methodological approach and an ethnography of fear in the West, in urban postindustrial societies and the Spanish society in particular.
