Amparo Sevilla. Here, one feels like home: Halls of popular dancing in Mexico city.
The essay presents an analysis of the historical configuration of dancing halls in which four fundamental aspects are outstanding: a) how the establishment of a social order for the use of public spaces, imply the imposition of a corporal order; b) How massive media has influenced in the organization of these public places; c) how the confluence of different dancing types from other countries has influenced the configuration of a community that has made of dancing halls a particular vinculation between the public and privateness and d) how it is possible then, that in the use of these public spaces, there have been social differences, not only due to the class one belongs to, but also to the gender.

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.

Jérôme Monnet. Public space, commerce and urbanity in France, Mexico and United States.
The author’s proposal is to consider the public/private as a materialization of the shared/reserved (or social/ intimate), instead of taking it as a coincidence of the political/economical. In this sense, the author considers the city as a concrete result of what is public, an expression of social order, a will to live together and not an opportunity for an open space to any passer-by (as it may happen in the countryside or in the mountains). In order to achieve his objective, Monnet wonders about the relationship between public space and commerce (concrete expression of “urbanity”) and he analyses the common aspects which the role of commerce plays within the public space in three cases of “Western” cities: Toulouse, Mexico city and Los Angeles.
