Dicho sistema, creemos, celebra la interrelación entre diversidad de especies, sirviendo, de esta manera, de metáfora para entender nuestra propia construcción social. En dicha metáfora, ser humano y paisaje quedan interrelacionados en una cadena de cambios que se manifiestan en el cotidiano; es decir, los cambios son visibles explorando el habitar, o la forma en la que producimos y somos producidos por nuestro entorno. A través del rescate de esa interrelación explorando la narración de la vida cotidiana en Baxtla, Veracruz, este artículo se propone desdibujar las finas líneas que separan la milpa de una de las tradiciones ancestrales que acompañan al hombre y la mujer mesoamericanos hasta nuestros días: la celebración de la muerte.

It will draw on ethnographic research to show how Nahuas relate to the corporeal world (objects and environment) and, through processes of struggle and negotiation, use them to produce this physical space, called house. In doing so, it will uncover a different historical narrative. By examining the “house”, and the materials used to produce it, as a space that is lived and built (the house) but also perceived, dreamt and remembered (a home), this thesis highlights interconnections between the study of the physical world (materiality) and the study of social processes (social structure and social relations). For, it is through the rhythms of the Nahua’s everyday life including material acts of remembrance and spatial practices of memory, that these physical spaces (their houses) can be better understood. Throughout th...

Se problematiza las limitadas oportunidades de participación que tienen los investigadores noveles latinoamericanos que buscan la reinserción. El objetivo de esta investigación es explorar las razones que dificultan su ingreso a la academia y evidenciar las deficiencias de las políticas gubernamentales para el desarrollo de programas de absorción. La metodología empleada es el análisis crítico del discurso de cinco biografías de doctores mexicanos y chilenos. Los resultados informan el empleo de estrategias discursivas que apuntan a legitimar las razones de la precariedad laboral y la construcción discursiva de estos actores. Este artículo contribuye a reconocer patrones similares en investigadores noveles latinoamericanos.

While cartographic products have become the dominant medium for this, there are many ways of expressing spatial knowledge, providing a rich opportunity to understand different forms in which people recreate, navigate, and understand their landscape. This research explores how Nahuas in Mixtla de Altamirano, Veracruz, Mexico, build tochan, their space called "house," and how this knowledge is transmitted orally over time. This shows the potential that oral narratives have to inform and decolonize historical and archaeological knowledge and to lead us to revaluate our own spatial thinking.

Although oral narrations are the way in which history has survived in Mexican indigenous contexts... more Although oral narrations are the way in which history has survived in Mexican indigenous contexts, they have been long disregarded as a valid source of information for archaeological research. The Materiality of Remembering argues that orality as a tool for research does not only provide clues for exploring indigenous uses of space, but that these narrations become central when investigating the way materiality changes through the act of remembrance. It is then through oral histories that materiality becomes fluid-moves and changes-through the constant process of remembrance. Then, by exploring orality in Mixtla de Altamirano in the Zongolica Mountain Range, Flores-Muñoz provides a corpus of data that helps us explore the interwoven relationship established between people (in this case the Nahuas in Mixtla de Altamirano) and their material world in the process of accounting history.
