Tiempo, espacio e identidad social
Time, space and identity.By means of the analysis of the ideological dimension, this article proposes a theoretical reflection around the concept of identity, from which some methodological and empirical consequences are derived in order to consider the process of construction of social identities. The latter allows us to reconsider two central parameters for the study of identity: time and space. The latter are seen as the two basic ideological evidences by which culture forms and incorporates individuals, giving a social sense to their every day practices.

Sexismo e identidad de género
Sexism and Gender Identity.The article analyses the gender identity from an anthropological view, that is, as a historical and social process. It questions the basis of bi-categorical thinking which includes sex and gender in two exclusive categories: man/women. From this two categories sex and gender is considered universal when in fact, there are a great number of examples which show different views and experiences concerning sex and gender. The author establishes a notion of gender identity as a strategy of symbolic representation and resistance that opposes the social form and behavior imposed to the individual due to sexism which as in racism, is based in making the biological differences absolute, and turns gender into the motor for power of one sex against the other.

Racismo e identidad étnica
Racism and Ethnic Identity.Racism is an ideology that still exists as one of the forms of domination of the ethnic groups in México. The imposition of negative images and representations expressed in the social discourse and translated into discriminatory practices, within the different spaces of the social relations, continue to be part of the daily life of the Indian peoples. However, the studies on identity in our country have not sufficiently treated the role of racist identifications in the building of their identity. This work contributes with some empirical evidences as a basis to propose the analysis of the racist ideology and the way how these images are still functional to the system, by influencing the building or destruction of the ethnic national groups identity. The first part of the work enunciates the rising of racism in other national contexts, and shows that in Mexico there has been a historical continuity of this ideology, that today presents itself with new discourses and practices. On the light of certain aspects of the theoretical debate some of its manifestations in an ethnic region are presented. The second part exposes some ideas regarding methodological aspects to analyze ethnic identity within asymmetric relations.
