This book was released on 2015-02-06 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En los años recientes se observa un importante resurgimiento de movimientos étnicos y nacionalistas. Paralelamente a los procesos de integración que se realizan en Europa, o a las dimensiones mundiales de los flujos informativos y los alcances de las industrias culturales, surgen movimientos étnicos o nacionalistas como actores fundamentales de la acción social. Estos movimientos emanan de identidades étnicas y culturales de grupos sociales sumamente heterogéneos, por lo que es necesario replantear la discusión en torno de la cultura nacional, la identidad cultural y el nacionalismo como componentes importantes de la acción social. En Decadencia y auge de las identidades, José Manuel Valenzuela Arce compila 11 ponencias presentadas en el seminario “Cultura nacional, identidad cultural y modernización”, realizado en El Colegio de la Frontera Norte. Las diversas perspectivas con que se aborda el tema de las identidades destacan que la identidad nacional se construye y reconstruye a través de los grados de cercanía y alejamiento de los proyectos dominantes de nación. La identidad es huella y sendero, marca y proyecto, rostro y máscara, realidad y simulacro. Es un campo de disputa entre actuaciones posibles y un juego de espejos donde se redefinen rasgos comunes y se ponderan diferencias.
Download or read book Indigeneity in the Mexican Cultural Imagination written by Analisa Taylor and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2013-09-25 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the end of the Mexican Revolution in 1917, the state has engaged in vigorous campaign to forge a unified national identity. Within the context of this effort, Indians are at once both denigrated and romanticized. Often marginalized, they are nonetheless subjects of constant national interest. Contradictory policies highlighting segregation, assimilation, modernization, and cultural preservation have alternately included and excluded Mexico’s indigenous population from the state’s self-conscious efforts to shape its identity. Yet, until now, no single book has combined the various elements of this process to provide a comprehensive look at the Indian in Mexico’s cultural imagination. Indigeneity in the Mexican Cultural Imagination offers a much-needed examination of this fickle relationship as it is seen through literature, ethnography, film and art. The book focuses on representations of indigenous peoples in post-revolutionary literary and intellectual history by examining key cultural texts. Using these analyses as a foundation, Analisa Taylor links her critique to national Indian policy, rights, and recent social movements in Southern Mexico. In addition, she moves beyond her analysis of indigenous peoples in general to take a gendered look at indigenous women ranging from the villainized Malinche to the highly romanticized and sexualized Zapotec women of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. The contradictory treatment of the Indian in Mexico’s cultural imagination is not unique to that country alone. Rather, the situation there is representative of a phenomenon seen throughout the world. Though this book addresses indigeneity in Mexico specifically, it has far-reaching implications for the study of indigenaety across Latin America and beyond. Much like the late Edward Said’s Orientalism, this book provides a glimpse at the very real effects of literary and intellectual discourse on those living in the margins of society. This book’s interdisciplinary approach makes it an essential foundation for research in the fields of anthropology, history, literary critique, sociology, and cultural studies. While the book is ideal for a scholarly audience, the accessible writing and scope of the analysis make it of interest to lay audiences as well. It is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the politics of indigeneity in Mexico and beyond.

Download or read book Carrying the Word written by Susanna Rostas and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2011-05-18 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Carrying the Word: The Concheros Dance in Mexico City, the first full length study of the Concheros dancers, Susanna Rostas explores the experience of this unique group, whose use of dance links rural religious practices with urban post-modern innovation in distinctive ways even within Mexican culture, which is rife with ritual dances. The Concheros blend Catholic and indigenous traditions in their performances, but are not governed by a predetermined set of beliefs; rather they are bound together by long standing interpersonal connections framed by the discipline of their tradition. The Concheros manifest their spirituality by means of the dance. Rostas traces how they construct their identity and beliefs, both individual and communal, by its means. The book offers new insights into the experience of dancing as a Conchero while also exploring their history, organization and practices. Carrying the Word provides a new way for audiences to understand the Conchero's dance tradition, and will be of interest to students and scholars of contemporary Mesoamerica. Those studying identity, religion, and tradition will find this social-anthropological work particularly enlightening
Download or read book The Politics Economics and Culture of Mexican US Migration written by E. Ashbee and published by Springer. This book was released on 2007-12-25 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Images and accounts of the Mexican - US migration process and the border region abound. Representations of border crossers, plans for the construction of a security fence, the shifting economic relationship between the US and its southern neighbors, and the changing character of the Rio Grande area have played a pivotal role in shaping contemporary political discourse. The Politics, Economics, and Culture of Mexican-US Migration, which has attracted contributors from four different countries, offers multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary evaluations of these developments. It also considers the impact of migration in both the US and Mexico. Some of the contributions are case-studies, while others have a broad 'survey' character. All place the current debate about migration and the changing nature of the north American continent within its wider context in a way that is of relevance and interest to both the specialist and the more general reader.
Download or read book Mexican Murals in Times of Crisis written by Bruce Campbell and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2022-08-16 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Murals have been an important medium of public expression in Mexico since the Mexican Revolution, and names such as Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and José Clemente Orozco will forever be linked with this revolutionary art form. Many people, however, believe that Mexico's renowned mural tradition died with these famous practitioners, and today's mural artists labor in obscurity as many of their creations are destroyed through hostility or neglect. This book traces the ongoing critical contributions of mural arts to public life in Mexico to show how postrevolutionary murals have been overshadowed both by the Mexican School and by the exclusionary nature of official public arts. By documenting a range of mural practices—from fixed-site murals to mantas (banner murals) to graffiti—Bruce Campbell evaluates the ways in which the practical and aesthetic components of revolutionary Mexican muralism have been appropriated and redeployed within the context of Mexico's ongoing economic and political crisis. Four dozen photographs illustrate the text. Blending ethnography, political science, and sociology with art history, Campbell traces the emergence of modern Mexican mural art as a composite of aesthetic, discursive, and performative elements through which collective interests and identities are shaped. He focuses on mural activists engaged combatively with the state—in barrios, unions, and street protests—to show that mural arts that are neither connected to the elite art world nor supported by the government have made significant contributions to Mexican culture. Campbell brings all previous studies of Mexican muralism up to date by revealing the wealth of art that has flourished in the shadows of official recognition. His work shows that interpretations by art historians preoccupied with contemporary high art have been incomplete—and that a rich mural tradition still survives, and thrives, in Mexico.

Download or read book Psychosocial and Cultural Research on Poverty in Mexico written by Cirilo Humberto García Cadena and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new and timely book deals with the magnitude and the intensity of the poverty in Latin America, Mexico and the state of Nuevo Leon. The enormous and chronic social problems of poverty in 1970 struck approximately 40 per cent of the families of Latin America or 119 million people. In 1990, of 423,913,043 habitants of Latin America, 46 per cent were living in poverty, that is to say, 195 million people were suffering this calamity (CEPAL). According to the same CEPAL, in 2002 44 per cent of the population of Latin America was poor, whereas 19.40 per cent were living in extreme poverty, indigence or misery. Seen in another way, the poverty in Latin America increased in that period of 20 years, from 1970 to 1990, 38.97 per cent. At the moment, in Latin America there are 225 million poor people. This book is an essential reference to a problem which the world must, if for no other reason than necessity, deal with in a vigorous and just manner.

Download or read book Cultural Pluralism Identity and Globalization written by Cândido Mendes and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To be part of a culture that provides us with an identity, making us different, giving us specific values, and at the same time to be actively integrated into an increasingly globalized social context, proposing democratic projects with a universalistic scope, facing the paradoxical risks of ethnocentrism: this is one of the most serious challenges that the last decades of the century have held in store for us. That endeavour, of course, is linked with a full exploration of the democratic idea, and a continuous search for the challenge--and the surprise--of humanism as our ever unfinished quest. Such a concern is in the core of the crisis of modernity, aware of the pittfalls of enlighted rationalism and its authoritarian arrogance. And this challenge is made all the more complex when we see the process of globalization as a muldimensional rather than a merely economic phenomenon, and acknowledge that its effects are, on the sociocultural level, not necessarily homogenizing, but often differentiating. The texts assembled in this book discuss this challenge, in its full complexity, with all the dilemmas, questions, paradoxes, and mediations it involves--back cover.
