La Santa Muerte in Mexico
This book examines La Santa Muerte's role in people's daily lives and explores how popular religious practices of worship and devotion developed around a figure often associated with illicit activities.
Building Yanhuitlan
Through years of fieldwork in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico, art historian and archaeologist Alessia Frassani formulated a compelling question: How did Mesoamerican society maintain its distinctive cultural heritage despite colonization by the Spanish? In Building Yanhuitlan, she focuses on an imposing structure—a sixteenth-century Dominican monastery complex in the village of Yanhuitlan. For centuries, the buildings have served a central role in the village landscape and the lives of its people. Ostensibly, there is nothing indigenous about the complex or the artwork inside. So how does such a place fit within the Mixteca, where Frassani acknowledges a continuity of indigenous culture in th...
Los niños de San Bernardo
El patrimonio escultórico de tipo religioso en México es vasto en su diseño, historia, usos y las costumbres que de ellos emanan. Este libro muestra esos preceptos en la labor ocurrida en el convento concepcionista del Dulce Nombre de María y San Bernardo: se examinan, desde el punto de vista histórico, estético, antropológico y de análisis de materiales, cinco esculturas que representan a Jesús infante y cuya restauración se llevó a cabo con la finalidad de que continuaran en uso devocional.

»La Santa Muerte« - Leben mit dem Tod
Seit den frühen 2000er Jahren hat ein religiöses Phänomen aus Mexiko transnational besondere Popularität und öffentliche Sichtbarkeit erlangt: Die Verehrung von La Santa Muerte (Der Heilige Tod). Doch wer sind die Gläubigen? Welche Erfahrungen und Schicksale teilen sie? Und wie lässt sich dieser Verehrungskult erklären? Ausgehend von Feldforschungen in den Grenzregionen der USA und Mexiko bestimmt Silke Müller den sozialen Hintergrund dieses Phänomens. Dabei rekonstruiert sie objektiv-hermeneutisch vier gemeinsame Milieuerfahrungen der Gläubigen, die zu der Verehrung in einem spezifischen Passungsverhältnis stehen und sie gleichzeitig auch bedingen.
Producing and Contesting Urban Marginality
In Mexico City, as in many other large cities worldwide, contemporary modes of urban governance have overwhelmingly benefited affluent populations and widened social inequalities. Disinvestment from social housing and rent-seeking developments by real estate companies and land speculators have resulted in the displacement of low-income populations to the urban periphery. Public social spaces have been eliminated to make way for luxury apartments and business interests. Low-income neighbourhoods are often stigmatized by dominant social forces to justify their demolition. The urban poor have however negotiated and resisted these developments in a range of ways. This text explores these urban dynamics in Mexico City and beyond, looking at the material and symbolic mechanisms through which urban marginality is produced and contested. It seeks to understand how things might be otherwise, how the city might be geared towards more inclusive forms of belonging and citizenship.
