Sergio Pérez Cortés. Violencia y gobierno de sí mismo
Violence and government of itself.As violence has become a problem and for many it is a synonym of “lack of morals”, the author wonders if it is not necessary to distinguish between the different types of violence, its causes, authors, and, even if the systematic condemnation of the transgressors is too easy an answer. It offers his ideas on the existing link between violence and its government, considering that violence is a complex phenomena and that this is only a partial explanation. It does not intend to present a phenomenology of violence; it leaves pure and simple criminality apart, and centers both on the link between violent action and conduct norms which are impressed on and demanded from the citizen, as well as in the understanding and surveillance this citizen exerts on himself to contain the violence.

Vargas Melgarejo. Luz María. Sobre el concepto de percepción
On the concept of perception.This paper studies the concept of perception from an anthropological point of view. It is showed like a biocultural process of organization and elaboration of evidences through the which the social groups explain their environment; this process is mediated by collective references adjusted by sociocultural and ideological norms, this perspective is opposed to some psychologic and philosophic concepts in which perception in seen like a lineal and no historical process. This paper shows, furthermore, how the perception is in constant interaction with other view of reality levels, for instance the moral and esthetic ones, to the structuring of social order.

Reseña - AntropologÃa polÃtica: una introducciónhot!
-
Marc J. Swartz, Victor W. Turner y Arthur Tuden - Este libro es el resultado de un experimento. Sus editores, inquietos por explorar las corrientes actuales y estilos de análisis de la antropología política, decidieron solicitar a un número determinado de distinguidos investigadores en este campo que presentaran ponencias al Encuentro Anual de la American Anthropological Association de 1964.1 También se decidió que los conferencistas tuvieran un amplio margen para la selección y tratamiento de los temas, y así contribuyeran a nuestra intención de identificar si “un viento de cambio” estaba invadiendo la teoría política, como había invadido a la política real de la mayoría de las sociedades que habían sido estudiadas por los antropólogos.

Rodrigo Díaz Cruz. Purificar las palabras de la tribu. Antropología simbólica y razón austera
Purifying the words of the tribe. Symbolic anthropology and austere reason.The object of this essay is to controvert an old topic of symbolic anthropology: that which places symbolic actions as opposed to rational ones. It is argued that this topic assumes a simplifying conception of reason, in other words, all exercise of reason is reduced to austere reason, a type of reason which, by the way, has its own historic framework from where it emerged: that of an illustrated culture of a rigoristic type. An undesirable consequence of this contrast has been the characterization of symbolic actions as non rational, limiting the possibility of opening new and fruitful routes of research for symbolic anthropology. This essay first explores some materials which are constitutive of austere reason and of an illustrated culture of a rigoristic type; further on it makes some comments in regards to the counter-illustrated reaction and the aesthetic of romanticism; and it proposes some conjectures in regards to the influence of symbolism, particularly the type exemplified by Mallarmé- in the configuration of the above mentioned topic. Finally, it defends the emphatic notion of reason and an illustrated culture of an argumentative type.
