Youth Strategies in the Face of Climate and Educational Vulnerability
Get PDFIntroduction: The study analyzed the risk and vulnerability in the educational trajectory of indigenous youth as they progressed to postgraduate studies. It focused on students from Intercultural Universities and assessed the social, economic, and cultural conditions that influenced their academic development. The research explored the accumulation of disadvantages throughout their education and how transversal factors such as gender, age, and ethnicity impacted their access to and retention in higher education.Development: The analysis was based on semi-structured interviews with postgraduate students from various public universities in Mexico City. It was identified that educational vulnerability was not only a result of structural conditions but also of material and symbolic inequalities. The study examined educational segmentation and the creation of Intercultural Universities as a governmental strategy to include marginalized populations, although it also revealed that these institutions perpetuated institutional differences. Additionally, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was addressed, which amplified inequalities and forced indigenous students to develop strategies to cope with distance education, such as using community networks and strengthening digital literacy.Conclusion: The study concluded that the educational vulnerability of indigenous youth was exacerbated by the pandemic, highlighting structural inequality in access to education. However, it emphasized their resilience and the strategies they implemented to mitigate adverse effects. The denaturalization of disasters helped understand the intersection of social, economic, and political factors in the education of vulnerable populations

Are common candidacies viable in the state of Guanajuato? A comparative study of the 2024 local elections in Mexico
Get PDFIntroduction: The study addressed the goals that political parties pursued within democratic systems. It was considered that parties were not static structures, but that their goals varied according to political and social conditions. Based on Strøm\u27s (1990) classification, three main orientations were established: vote seeking, office winning and policy making.Development: Vote-oriented political parties prioritized their electoral performance, often without necessarily seeking public office. In Mexico, this phenomenon was observed due to the relationship between public funding and votes obtained. On the other hand, parties focused on obtaining office sought benefits associated with political power, while those focused on policy implementation prioritized the implementation of their ideology and governmental agenda. In addition, the influence of the institutional context on parties was analyzed, noting that electoral regulations and the structure of the political system conditioned their strategies and objectives.Conclusion: It was concluded that political parties did not follow unique objectives, but that their strategies varied according to their context and needs. Electoral competition, the legal framework and the internal structure of each party determined their orientation. In the case of Mexico, democratization and electoral reforms influenced party dynamics, promoting pragmatism and the formation of strategic alliances
History and Archaeology: An Analysis of Narrative Construction through Multiple Sources in the Case of Muntz Metal
Get PDFIn the world of history and archaeology, the construction of narratives has become a multidisciplinary process that draws on a variety of sources. This paper focuses on one case study: the Muntz Metal as an example of these processes. As we explore history and archaeology in tandem, we dive into the unique narrative surrounding this material and its impact on various epochs. Muntz Metal, a copper and zinc alloy, has left a significant historical footprint, from its use in maritime vessels to applications in industry. Through archaeological research and historical interpretation, an account of how this alloy shaped key sectors of society has been developed. What makes the study of Muntz Metal particularly interesting is the diversity of sources that have been employed to reconstruct its history and impact. This paper seeks to understand the interplay between history and archaeology, highlighting how various sources, such as trade records, recovered artifacts, and historical testimony, have intertwined to form a more complete picture of the importance of Muntz Metal over time. By examining how these sources complement each other, a dynamic process of narrative construction is revealed, with each piece of information adding a layer of understanding. The study of Muntz Metal not only provides a glimpse into its evolution and application throughout history, but also serves as an exemplary case of how history and archaeology work in harmony to weave narrative
The rise of the ultra-right and neo-fascism in Europe in the 21st century
Get PDFWith the capitulation of Germany and its allies in World War II, the classical manifestations of fascism seemed to have been defeated. However, the reality indicates that this ideology has been reconfiguring itself into an alternative phenomenon, although with the same essence at the core of its conception: neo-fascism. As a result, contemporary societies have witnessed in recent decades the rise of the extreme right and the rise of conservative and violent discourses.Based on this context, the present research investigates the trends of the extreme right-wing fascist movement in Europe in the 21st century. At the same time, it includes a review not only of political forces and parties, but also of the main factors that have determined its political-electoral advance. To achieve this, it is based on the study of the German case, from the point of view of two of its parties: the German National Democratic Party (NPD) and Alternative for Germany (AfD). Finally, the following elements emerge as having a major impact on the rise of these neo-fascist projects: the reconfiguration of their political discourses, the presence of Euroscepticism in European society, and the behavior of traditional parties in the face of the 2008-2009 global economic crisis and the migration crisis of 2015-201
