Como sucede siempre cuándo una palabra, con sus escasas letras, parece albergar el amplio contenido de un proceso o de un fenómeno social, la noción de patrimonialización está en boga en México y en otros lugares del mundo. Se usa para nombrar una vasta gama de eventos que suceden en torno a expresiones, bienes culturales y naturales, personas o grupos humanos, cuando son valorados como patrimonio cultural y son empleados por un amplio espectro de actores, para una gran variedad de objetivos, siempre bajo la justificación de la necesidad de proteger y conservar aquello que se patrimonializa. Lo que no siempre es evidente es la definición conceptual de esa noción, ni los alcances y a...
¿Qué se come aquí?
La articulación entre turismo y gastronomía es cada vez más frecuente y exitosa. La literatura, tanto académica como no especializada, es cada vez más abundante, así como la realización de eventos que convocan a los más diversos grupos de interés: instituciones públicas, empresarios, chefs, activistas de ONG y, por supuesto, en el caso mexicano, las cocineras y cocineros tradicionales, quienes han adquirido visibilidad y reconocimiento como representantes de la gastronomía tradicional y popular, convertida tanto en un recurso cultural como en un factor de desarrollo para un buen número de localidades en México. En este contexto, el propósito de este libro es anali...
Territorios, seguridad y soberanía alimentaria
Una constante en la historia de México y América Latina se refiere a las repercusiones que los acontecimientos ocurridos en la esfera rural tienen en el ámbito nacional e internacional. Se trata entonces, de fenómenos de orden social, económico, cultural y político que no pueden ser entendidos a cabalidad desde una sola disciplina.
Food Practices in Transition
This edited volume presents and reflects upon empirical evidence of ‘sustainability’-induced and -related transition in food practices. The material collected in the various chapters contributes to our understanding of the ways in which ideas and preferences, sociotechnological developments and changes in the governance of food interact and become visible in practices of consumption, retail and production.
Portrait of a Young Painter
In Portrait of a Young Painter, the distinguished historian Mary Kay Vaughan adopts a biographical approach to understanding the culture surrounding the Mexico City youth rebellion of the 1960s. Her chronicle of the life of painter Pepe Zúñiga counters a literature that portrays post-1940 Mexican history as a series of uprisings against state repression, injustice, and social neglect that culminated in the student protests of 1968. Rendering Zúñiga's coming of age on the margins of formal politics, Vaughan depicts midcentury Mexico City as a culture of growing prosperity, state largesse, and a vibrant, transnationally-informed public life that produced a multifaceted youth movement brimming with creativity and criticism of convention. In an analysis encompassing the mass media, schools, politics, family, sexuality, neighborhoods, and friendships, she subtly invokes theories of discourse, phenomenology, and affect to examine the formation of Zúñiga's persona in the decades leading up to 1968. By discussing the influences that shaped his worldview, she historicizes the process of subject formation and shows how doing so offers new perspectives on the events of 1968.
Anthropology and the Politics of Representation
This book examines the inherently problematic nature of representation and description of living people, specifically in ethnography and more generally in anthropological work as a whole. In this book, the editor brings together a group of international scholars who, through their fieldwork experiences, reflect on the epistemological, political, and personal implications of their own work. To do so, they focus on such topics as ethnography, anthropologists' engagement in identity politics, representational practices, the contexts of anthropological research and work, and the effects of personal choices regarding self-involvement in local causes that may extend beyond purely ethnographic goals.
The Mosquito Bite Author
Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.
