Etnografiar sobre pedales. La interlocución con el campo y con “los otros” desde una bicicleta
No full textLa evolución del instrumental metodológico de la antropología en general, y de la etnografía en particular, le ha permitido ajustarse e incorporar diversas técnicas o insumos útiles para sortear los desafíos que ha encontrado a lo largo de su historia en el contacto con las personas en cuyo conocimiento le interesa ahondar. Aunque no se trata realmente de una innovación, tras la pandemia que azotó al mundo en el año 2020, el uso de la bicicleta, por la seguridad que ofrecía para evitar el contagio, fue promovido también como una herramienta para la investigación cualitativa, sobre todo entre las ciencias sociales. Esto, además de revalorar su utilidad como medio de transporte, abrió la posibilidad de aquilatarla como una vía de contacto humano útil para el trabajo científico y la producción de conocimiento. Lo que aquí se presenta, es una reflexión sobre algunas de las particularidades que, para un trabajo de corte antropológico, tiene el hecho de aproximarse a “los otros” y al medio en el que habitan, desde una bicicleta. Se expone, en ese sentido, su utilidad práctica dentro de una investigación doctoral desarrollada desde la perspectiva de la ecología política, que tuvo lugar en la región del Istmo-Costa chiapaneco, en el sur del Pacífico mexicano durante los años 2021 y 2022
La disputa por el riesgo. El conflicto eco-social entre la pesca artesanal y el capitalismo haliéutico. El caso de la región del Mar Muerto en el Istmo-Costa de Chiapas, México
No full textL'article aborda la mecànica del procés de modernització de la zona del Mar Mort a l'stme chiapaneco, a Mèxic, impulsat des del govern a través del capitalisme halièutic. L'assentament del qual es va traduir en la col·lisió entre les idees pròpies del lliure mercat i les lògiques d'un estil de vida fortament arrelat en la naturalesa. Es proposa el risc com a figura explicativa considerant la relació ontològica que, en raó de la seva activitat i el contacte amb el mar, les societats de pescadors tenen amb aquest element, que ha estat també base de la identitat i l'organització social. Es mencionen els esforços mitjançant els quals es va buscar desenvolupar els litorals, amb conseqüències que, en casos com el que aquí s'observa, han derivat també en una deterioració ambiental i un afebliment del teixit social creixents. L'objectiu és mostrar que, en les societats pesqueres tradicionals, la racionalitat que guiava l'ofici i que es reflectia en els esquemes de treball, l'organització comunitària i la interacció amb la naturalesa, es recolzava en una relació metonímica amb el risc, que, en ser modificada sobretot a causa de la inserció de noves tecnologies, va facilitar concomitantment els canvis que necessitava el procés de reordenament impulsat per les forces del capital. Es destaca, a més, el caràcter essencialment contenciós del procés, i es mostren unes certes resistències i oposicions amb les quals el pescador defensa el seu estil de vida.This article addresses the mechanics of the modernization process in the Dead Sea area in the Isthmus of Chiapas, Mexico, promoted by the government through halieutic capitalism, whose settlement resulted in a collision between the ideas of the free market and the logics of a lifestyle strongly rooted in nature. Risk is proposed as an explanatory figure considering the ontological relationship that, because of their activity and contact with the sea, fishing societies have with this element, which has also been the basis of identity and social organization. In a brief review, we mention the efforts made to develop the coastlines, with consequences that, in cases such as the one observed here, have also led to increasing environmental deterioration and a weakening of the social fabric. The objective is to show that, in traditional fishing societies, the rationality that guided the trade and that was reflected in work patterns, community organization and interaction with nature, was based on a metonymic relationship with risk, which, when modified mainly due to the insertion of new technologies, concomitantly facilitated the changes required by the reordering process driven by the forces of capital. The essentially contentious nature of the process is also highlighted, and certain resistance and opposition with which the fisherman defends his way of life is shown.El artículo aborda la mecánica del proceso de modernización de la zona del Mar Muerto en el Istmo chiapaneco, en México, impulsado desde el gobierno a través del capitalismo haliéutico, cuyo asentamiento se tradujo en la colisión entre las ideas propias del libre mercado y las lógicas de un estilo de vida fuertemente arraigado en la naturaleza.

The virtual image : Brazilian literature in English translation
No full textThe
aim of this thesis is to
examine
how the virtual
image
of Brazil
and
its literature is
constructed
in the Anglo-American world. To this
end, a survey of
Brazilian literary
works
in English translation was
carried out.
Having
gathered this data, it became
possible to establish
correlations
between the historical
moments when such translations
were made, when their number
increased,
and the events occurring at
those times in the international
panorama, as well as to look into the
role of sponsors, publishers and translators in the
selection and
production of such translations.
The data
also allowed a profile of
Brazilian literary
works
in
English translation to be drawn. It became
possible to suggest that
such works
fall into four
main categories:
`authorial
works',
'topical
works',
`ambassadorial
works'
and `consumer-oriented
works'.
In
order
to look
more closely
into how the translation process
has helped to
shape
the
virtual
image
of Brazilian literary
works
in
the Anglo-American world, an analysis of a sample of
translations
of
such works was made. Included in this
sample were
the translations
of works
by Machado de Asis, by Indianist
and
Regionalist
wirters,
culminating
in
an examination of translations of
GuimarAes Rosa's
works.
Having looked
at these aspects of
the translation
process, what
remained
to be done
was to investigate
to what extent
Brazilian
literary
works
in English translation
are read
by the English-
speaking public.
To this
end, a survey of availability and
library
readership was undertaken. Finally,
a reading experiment was carried
out
in
which native speakers of
English
were asked to read the short
story
'A terceira
margem
do
rio',
by GuimarAes Rosa.
The
conclusion attempts to pull all these threads together and
to indicate directions for further
research
The fellowship of St.Diogo : new Christian judaisers in Coimbra in the early 17th century
No full textDr Antonio Homem was a respected teacher in the University of Coimbra, a Canon in the Cathedral and an illustrious scholar. He was also the heir of a long Jewish family tradition. His great-great-grand father lived and died as a Jew. His great-grandfather, his grandmother and two of his uncles were among his relatives to have been sentenced
as judaisers by the Inquisition. His own father kept the Law of Moses, and taught it to all his children, without the knowledge of his wife, an Old Christian of noble lineage.
His concern for the situation of the New Christians in Portugal eventually made him build up a congregation of judaisers, which he called the Fellowship of St Diogo as a tribute to a Capuchin friar who had been executed a few years earlier as an apostate and defender of the Jewish Law. His congregation grew to include over sixty people,
including clerics, physicians, lawyers and students, as well as merchants and farmers. Its leader gave it a corpus of doctrine and eventually a distinctive liturgy, which showed influence from the Catholic Church. The Fellowship also inspired the creation of judaiser conventicles
in three major Monasteries in the Coimbra district, where a relatively large number of nuns held cult meetings and paid homage to Friar Diogo as a martyr of the Law of Moses.
After several years of activity, the Fellowship was investigated and dismantled by the Inquisition. Most of its members were arrested and sentenced. Dr AntOnio Homem was himself taken into custody, charged with heresy and apostasy, as well as sodomy (he was a known paederast), and finally handed over to the secular arm for execution.
His dream of building up a judaiser community in Coimbra was shattered. The Fellowship members who survived either left the country and joined the orthodox Jewish communities in the Netherlands and elsewhere, or stayed in Portugal and gradually lost their Jewish consciousness. Descendants
of some of them can still be found near Coimbra
Political Discourse and Neoliberal Reform in Mexico 1988-1994.
No full textPhDThis thesis examines the impact of economic liberalism on the dominant source of
legitimation in Mexico - nationalism - during the presidency of Carlos Salinas de
Gortari (1988-94). It asks whether national ideology remained of value as a
legitimising force given the ways in which neoliberalism challenged its social rationale
and looks at the search for a new basis of consensus. The thesis argues that salinismo
continued to find nationalism valuable to maintaining consensus by providing a
formula which could mediate rival individual and social claims. It analyses
nationalism through the content attributed to the individual and the social in political
discourse of the period.
Chapter 1 argues that a relationship has existed between political economy and
national ideology since Mexico's independence. This has been determined by elites
seeking to establish a state sufficiently stable to enable economic development. In the
20th century, conceptions of nationality provided criteria for "nation-building", the
creation of an integrated citizenry free of divisions which threatened stability. Chapter
2 argues that Salinas continued to find nationalism of legitimising value to his own
state reforms, but adapted it to neoliberal priorities.
Chapters 3 and 4 focus on how Salinas dealt in two instances - landholding and
free trade - with conflicts generated by rival conceptions within nationalism and
neoliberalism of the individual and sovereignty. Chapter 5 examines how intellectuals
reassessed nationalist ideology, and how the new models of community they imagined
reflected the search for a legitimising formula functional to the new political economy.
Chapters 6 and 7 argue that opposition parties on Left and Right also sought such a
formula and assessedth e need to mediate individual and social claims.
The thesis contributes to an understanding of the role nationalism has played in
Mexico's capitalist development, shedding light upon its fate within accelerated
modernisation
