Reseña - The Wages of Conquest
Marisol Pérez Lizaur - Este libro se separa de la problemática tratada tradicionalmente por Nutini. Es un estudio de clase, pero dentro de una modalidad nueva: los estudios de clase desde la antropología social, partiendo de la teoría de la circulación de élites y del análisis expresivo de la cultura. Es el primero de una serie de tres, dos de los cuales aún están en proceso de elaboración. Presenta una extensa descripción y análisis de la estratificación de los grupos sociales dominantes de México, en el marco de un análisis paralelo de la civilización occidental, desde la época clásica hasta la fecha. El segundo presentará la sección sincrónica del estudio, incluirá etnografías y destacará los elementos expresivos de la aristocracia mexicana en su periodo de decadencia (1950-1990). El tercero, estará integrado por una serie de estudios teóricos sobre los dominios expresivos de la aristocracia.

César Abilio Vergara Figueroa. The public and the privateness in massive popular music.
Using different kinds of texts regarding massive popular music, as it is rock, ranchera, grupera, corrido, as well as going through the nature of the so called“protesta” music of the sixties and seventies, looking into the musical construction of Gloria Trevi, La maldita vecindad, Tijuana No, Caifanes, Café Tacuba, Los Tigres del Norte, Juan Gabriel, José José among others. The author states the delimitation which are relative between the public and the privateness in a society in which massive communication media and cultural industries publish intimate life, and privatize the “Public Matter” within a context characterized by the division and the decrease of the use of public spaces. This relationship is discussed from the thematic perspective (governmental and political issues versus domesticity), as well as from the perspective of the construction of audiences and the weakening of the “territorial” variable (home vs. street) of its location.

Beatriz Kalinsky. Diversidad sociocultural y formas punitivas del Estado (En busca de respuestas antropológicas al sistema jurídico penal en el sur de la Provincia del Neuquén, Argentina
Sociocultural diversity and punitive forms of the State (In search of anthropological answers to the penal juridical system in the south of the province of Neuquén, Argentina)The objective of this work is to place the present anthropology reasoning on the deliberation of penal dogmatics about crime, mostly because of its practical consequences which involve members of ethnic minorities. Kalinsky maintains, on one hand, that a democratic State does not imply an homogeneous way of setting forth and resolving life matters and on the other hand, that specific factors of a group of people must not give cause for going deeper into discrimination and exclusion of the general regulatory structures. There must be neither juridical isolation (penal rights ad-hoc), nor homogenous integration (ignorance of cultural difference), because none of these two attitudes respect cultural plurality.
