  • What Do People from Other Countries/Cultures Wear? 4-H Clothing and Textiles Project Part of the Family and Consumer Sciences 4-H Project Series
    1-2 YEARS IN PROJECT What do People from Other Countries/Cultures Wear? 4-H Clothing and Textiles Project Part of the Family and Consumer Sciences 4-H Project Series Understanding Textiles (Fabric) Project Outcome: Global/ Ethnic- Identify various fabric as belonging to specific ethnic cultures. Project Indicator: Completed exploration of specific items worn in identified countries/cultures, the clothes worn during festivals/celebrations, and fabrics used. Do you know someone from another country? Or have you ever seen, in person or on TV, a festival or celebration from another country? Have you noticed that they wear clothes that are different from what you and I wear? While some of their celebrations are the same as ours, the clothes they wear may be different. It is fun and interesting to learn about what people from other countries wear during their festivals and celebrations. In learning this, you can also learn about the fabrics that they use to make their garments for these festivals. For this activity, you will learn about four different cultures, what they wear, especially for their festivals/celebrations or based on their religion, and what fabrics they make and use for clothing worn. Then you will be asked to do your own research to discover more about the clothing of these and other cultures. First, let’s define the word culture. Culture means: the beliefs and customs of a particular group of people which guides their interaction among themselves and others. A country can contain people from more than one cultural background. They may or may not observe the same celebrations or traditions in the same way.

This thesis will explore the impact of the textile market on the social standing of Mayan women and how weaving allows them to be entrepreneurs in their own right. I will also analyze the significance of Mayan textiles as a unifier and symbol of solidarity among the devastated Mayan communities, and the visual narratives depicted in the artwork and their relationship to the preservation of Mayan heritage. This research will focus on several women’s textile cooperatives in Guatemala.

  • Cocina Tradicional Del Noreste, Más Que Olor a Carne Asada: ¡Córrale Que Se Enfría!
    Dirección de Medios de Comunicación Boletín N° 371 9 de octubre de 2018 Cocina tradicional del noreste, más que olor a carne asada: ¡córrale que se enfría! *** La antropóloga del INAH, Yesenia Peña, recopila más de 200 recetas que dan cuenta de la complejidad de esta culinaria, repleta de aromas, sabores y colores *** Su investigación le llevó 10 años y comienza a dar frutos: uno es el libro de Cocina tradicional neolonesa “Donde termina el guiso y empieza a comerse la carne asada, comienza la barbarie”, reza el adagio que impuso como penitencia al norte, un prejuicio en el que la biodiversidad fue conjurada como escasa e inhóspita, y sus formas de subsistencia como extremas. Pero resulta que asar carne también tiene su receta; para muestra, una encontrada en San Nicolás de los Garza, Nuevo León, y referida en el libro Cocina tradicional neolonesa. Donde comienza el olor a carne asada, de la antropóloga física Yesenia Peña Sánchez. Nada más lejos que pensar en una cocina del cazador-recolector y pescador que va directo a la mesa, insípida, sin grandes elaboraciones, ni sorpresas gastronómicas: la cocina neolonesa es compleja, heredera de un entramado histórico que teje diversidad de culturas: de nómadas locales cazadores-recolectores, indígenas (tlaxcaltecas, otomíes, nahuas), mestizos, criollos, europeos españoles y portugueses, de viejos y nuevos cristianos (sefardíes), y demás población migrante que ha sumado colores y sabores a través del tiempo, originando una amplia tradición culinaria que se distingue por regiones. Un estudio biocultural realizado en 10 años (entre 2007 y 2017) por la investigadora del Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH) Yesenia Peña Sánchez, con intensas temporadas de campo en 33 municipios de Nuevo León, 64.7 por ciento del total que conforman el estado, permitió a la estudiosa recuperar 547 recetas, relatos sobre la elaboración de los platillos, las técnicas y tecnologías utilizadas en su preparación.
