Full textThe image of indigenous people in Mexico has been used since the Revolution of 1910 in several formats (graphic arts, film, advertising, among others) to give the nation a distinct identity. This research focuses on analyzing the use of audiovisual technology and ethnic stereotypes by a group of people of rural and indigenous origin in South Eastern Mexican. These young people are the main actors of a project of “indigenous video” which is nested with other projects that take place especially in the states of Chiapas, Oaxaca and Guerrero. Moreover, the project can be inserted in the lines of the militant or activist anthropology as it is promoted by anthropologists seeking to find common working agendas with their study groups. The processes of making personal, artistic and political decisions related to filmmaking were observed and accompanied, through a collaborative ethnographic research methodology. Also, the analysis of this phenomenon required paying attention to the processes and resulting products in the form of moving images, and also looking at the relationships that are built around films and information and communication technologies. Also, the movement of indigenous media was analysed as embedded in the emergency of indigenous social and cultural movements since the early 1990s in Central and South America, which situated Indigenous Peoples and their ethnicities within the global political arena.

Title
Alcohol Abuse Reproduced by Structural Inequalities: A Case Study in rural Mexico
Description
The purpose of this case study is to reveal the social structure determining the state of alcoholism in a particular society. The Case Study area is a marginalized rural and indigenous village, highly interconnected with the modern world through non-indigenous presence and because of its geographic location, situated close to a highway.
The research is a result of a perceived local acceptance and naturalness of a highly destructive alcohol intake, which penetrates the whole society.
The theoretical focus is drawn from the theories Durable Inequality developed by Charles Tilly and Stigmatization of Outsiders developed by Norbert Elias.
The study is empirical and presented in a narrative structure introducing the reader to both the particularities of the Case Study area as well as the focal problem. The method used is Participant Observation.
The crucial finding of the study is that an adaptive structure has evolved around the alcohol abuse, normalizing its existence and hazardous side effects, hindering any form of active resistance, and therefore reproducing or even strengthening the abuse.

Full textLa tesis pretende contribuir al desarrollo de una teoría del turismo de base comunitaria (TBC) definiéndolo como una gobernanza dirigida por la comunidad (GDC)y como un emprendimiento social, ambos analizados como dimensiones de agencia comunitaria (AC). La investigación se centra en comunidades indígenas donde la gobernanza tradicional (denominada usos y costumbres) se articula directamente con las empresas de base comunitaria(EBC)turísticas. Se analiza una muestra teórica de tres comunidades indígenas que a pesar de haber desarrollado un modelo de TBC, han seguido diferentes procesos. El estudio aplicó la teoría fundamentada; en consecuencia, es una investigación inductiva y cualitativa, basada en comparaciones constantes. Se realizaron 52 entrevistas en profundidad en cuatro etapas, durante el periodo 2011-2017. Los resultados indican que en un contexto de TBC indígena, existe un fuerte vínculo entre la GDC y la EBC, y que la evolución de ambas dimensiones afecta directamente el modelo de TBC local

Full textThe research is focus on the participation and representation of indigenous people in a federal electoral district recently developed (2005) within electoral processes. The 04 federal electoral district based in Zacapoaxtla is located in the Sierra Norte de Puebla, inhabited by nahuas and totonacs groups. The anthropological point of view offers qualitative instruments for the understanding of the interaction between the State and the indigenous people through different analysis scales: infra-municipal, municipality and district. It is a case study that allows the understanding of the complexity of the vote in rural areas, with the purpose of comprehending the phenomenon of pluralist political arena and political alternation

Full textIn North and South America, more than 20 million people speak indigenous languages. Thanks to indigenous social movements and a growing number of researchers, the need to protect those languages is more and more often discussed both on national and international level. Nevertheless, research concerning the current status of indigenous languages and the situation of their speakers is still scarce. This dissertation seeks to fill one of the gaps in existing literature on this topic. It aims at identifying and assessing spatial aspects of present-day policies towards indigenous languages in North and South American countries and dependent territories, in the context of increasing urbanization of autochthonous populations and global changes in policies regarding indigenous people. The research hypotheses are that language policies in the Americas are increasingly protecting indigenous languages, especially in countries with a higher number and percentage of native people and indigenous language speakers, but the policies’ scope is not adapted to changes in spatial distribution of autochthonous populations, particularly in unitary states. It is also assumed that the percentage of indigenous language speakers is higher in less populated areas and in regions where the percentage of indigenous people is higher. Two additional hypotheses regarding the situation of indigenous languages in Mexico City, described in a case study, state that the official language policy in the city is not being successfully implemented, and as a result the situation of indigenous languages depends primarily on grassroots initiatives of autochthonous people. The first chapter presents the aim and scope of the dissertation, basic concepts regarding the analyzed subject, an overview of most relevant studies on indigenous people and languages, as well as a description of research methods and data sources. In the second chapter an attempt to determine the number and spatial distribution of indigenous people and indigenous language speakers in countries and dependent territories of the Americas has been made, based on census data. This information is presented in the form of descriptions and a series of maps; the comparison concerning different countries and regions has been done, with the application of basic statistical methods. The third chapter analyzes historical and modern policies towards indigenous languages in the Americas from the colonial era to the present, on the basis of corresponding legal acts. The data is used to assess the level of protection of indigenous languages in each analyzed country and dependent territory. The fourth chapter studies spatial aspects of the situation of indigenous languages in Mexico City, based primarily on qualitative data obtained from interviews and observations carried out during field research. Information on indigenous language speakers in Mexico City is presented, objectives of the city’s official language policy are indicated, and main factors that influence the vitality of indigenous languages in the case study area are determined. The results obtained allow to conclude that since the 1980s in almost all of the Americas there has been a significant development of official policies that protect indigenous languages, including their presence in cities and in the countries with a relatively small number and percentage of indigenous population, without much difference between federal and unitary states. Due to lack of sufficient data it is not possible to verify fully whether the percentage of indigenous language speakers is higher in less populated areas and in regions where the percentage of indigenous people is higher. In the case of Mexico City, the ineffectiveness of the official language policy has been confirmed, whereas it is the migration of indigenous people from rural areas that proves to be the main factor affecting the condition of indigenous languages rather than grassroots initiatives, which turn out to have a very limited role.

Full textThe fictitious retelling of the events of the Mexican Revolution in the six novels of the Caoba cycle shows the consequences of colonialism. It also shows the social and economic injustices under which Mexican indigenous peoples suffered. The distinctive character of the native is well shown in the context of the cultural conflict between the colonizer and the colonized. The examination of the portrayal of the native section of the population is the major aim of the following thesis, which combines a narratological and postcolonial approach. The examination of selected text extracts shows, how and to what extent the German-speaking author is detached from a colonial discourse and if he can be seen as a forerunner of postcolonial discourses. The following central questions guide the analysis: To what extend does the representation of indigenous characters correspond to the one of the "noble savage"? How are the different groups of society portrayed (as individuals, type or allegory)? Which methods does the author employ in order to give the European or Western reader an understanding of the foreign culture? Traven's narrative technique of showing the various societies from different perspectives plays an important role in this respect. In his desire to show societal situations as oppression and exploitation, Traven writes from the perspective of the colonized; but he narrates from the perspective of the colonizer with the intention to understand the dictatorial system. This approach corresponds to the "contrapuntal" method described by Edward E. Said in his work Orientalism. I want to show to which extent the author utilises the "contrapuntal" method in his postcolonial criticism and to which extent it is a real postcolonial criticism. Furthermore, the thesis draws on Homi K. Bhabhas theory of the hybrid contact zones to assess the importance Traven gives to transcultural, viz. reciprocal influences?
