Ser indio en La Terminal
Being an Indian in La Terminal.This article focuses on Indian people whose way of life garound the main supplying market of Guatemala City. To achieve the latter three groups are analytically distinguished according to the relation the have with their birthplace and this capital city: a) tradesmen whose home is their native soil and they get there on and off in order to negotiate, b) im migrants who are now steady in habitants in the city, and finally, c) peo-ple who were born or have already adapted to this place. While describing how each one of the last mentioned develop different ways of urban insertion, this work wants to emphasise the way in which they derive in to different practices and contents regarding the fact of being Indians. This heterogeneity is found in a scenery as La Terminal, a kind of is land within the urban world where a redoubt has been created and where the command has been already taken. But the relative autonomy which they have allowed themselves towards the interior of a capital city which has been systematically denied as Indians, cannot be understood without taking in to consideration that it is produced from the social exclusion as well as from resistance.

Semantizarás el territorio: los vecinos de Analco y las explosiones de 1992 en Guadalajara
You shall semantisize (give meaning to) the territory. The neighbours of Analco and the explosions of April 22nd. 1992 in Guadalajara.From a sociosemiotical and anthropological standpoint, this work analyses the socio organizative and identity processes of the neighbours of Sector Reforma in the city of Guadalajara as a result of the 1992 motor fuel explosions in the drainpipe system. The interaction among the neighbours revealed the paradoxical stress between territorial basis identities and political struggle that requires support and devices which will transcend territorial dimension. This work agrees with the idea that local relationships are not enough for political participation. The processes experienced by the explosions of April 22, show that al though the territorial property has constituted a central mediation for the representation and for the action, it tends to become an obstacle when a discursive matrix is not simultaneously constructed and which is able to examine the subject in a cognitive and critical way and not only affectionately.

Música, lugar y espacio: la música como recurso colectivo en San Cristóbal de Las Casas
Music, place and space: Music as a collective resource in San Cristobal de Las Casas.This work analyses the way in which live music is used, controlled and exploited in San Cristobal de Las Casas as a collective resource by a group which is self-called as the "coleto" in regards to the other two ethnic groups that exist in the city: the group of "indigenous" and the group of "foreign residents", in order to create a kind of a collective place. Modernity is supposed to have participated in the dissociation of place and space and space and time and consequently of the withdrawal of existing social relationships towards places that have little or nothing to do with the specific space-temporal dimension which the mentioned places have as a reference.
