Portal Ariosa, María Ana. Práctica religiosa e identidad social entre los pueblos de Tlalpan, México, D.F.
Religious practice and social identity amongst people from Tlalpan, México, D.F.In this article, we shall attempt to analyse the popular religious phenomenon within the regional perspective of the Tlalpan area. The basic references are the contacts which are established by patronal parties amongst the people inside such areas as well as at other external communities. The central hypothesis is that urbanity is built from the integration of complex forms in relationship to what is known as rural, incorporating a variety of practices, where popular religion plays a fundamental role. Thus, the recreation of urban identities are favored even in those fields which were, until not long ago, rural spaces. The former concept comes to reality only if people from Tlalpan and from adjacent communities (whether they belong to the state of Mexico or to Morelos) keep and recreate a system of duties that we have called “urban” through which religious rituals of the communities are organized, and the collective “memory” is reproduced as well as a specific way to face the world, and a special type of social organization is established.

Menéndez, Eduardo. La enfermedad y la curación ¿Qué es medicina tradicional?
Illness and cure. What is traditional medicine?In this work, some characteristics of popular knowledge are analysed, regarding the health/illness/care (from now on; h/i/s process) as well as hegemonical medical knowledge, considering that even though biomedicine shows proof of a continuous process of technological and expansive change, popular knowledge is also characterized by a constant process of modification, in which the beliefs and resulting practices from different roots, including biomedical, are provisionally synthesized.
