El Boletín 2013, tercero de la nueva época editorial del Colegio de Etnólogos y Antropólogos Sociales, A.C. lleva por título Antropología y prácticas profesionales diversas. Este esfuerzo se realiza en atención a la idea y preocupación de hacer visible la diversidad de campos en los que los antropólogos nos desempeñamos profesionalmente y que son poco conocidos por el gremio o ignorados por representar una aparente minoría. Mostrar algunos de estos campos profesionales es un primer paso para identificarlos, por lo que los artículos centrales de este número del Boletín describen en qué consisten y reflexionan sobre los retos que enfrentan los antropólogos en ellos, así como ...

As the magazine of the Texas Exes, The Alcalde has united alumni and friends of The University of Texas at Austin for nearly 100 years. The Alcalde serves as an intellectual crossroads where UT's luminaries - artists, engineers, executives, musicians, attorneys, journalists, lawmakers, and professors among them - meet bimonthly to exchange ideas. Its pages also offer a place for Texas Exes to swap stories and share memories of Austin and their alma mater. The magazine's unique name is Spanish for "mayor" or "chief magistrate"; the nickname of the governor who signed UT into existence was "The Old Alcalde."

The War of the Pacific (1879–1883) looms large in the history of Peru and Chile. Upending the prevailing historiographical focus on the history of conflict, Beyond Patriotic Phobias explores points of connection shared between Peruvians and Chileans despite war. Through careful archival work, historian Joshua Savala highlights the overlooked cooperative relationships of workers across borders, including maritime port workers, doctors, and the police. These groups, in both countries, were intimately tied together through different forms of labor: they worked the ships and ports, studied and treated disease transmission in the face of a cholera outbreak, and conducted surveillance over port and maritime activities because of perceived threats like transnational crime and labor organizing. By following the movement of people, diseases, and ideas, Savala reconstructs the circulation that created a South American Pacific world. The resulting story is one in which communities, classes, and states formed transnationally through varied, if uneven, forms of cooperation.
