In Mexico we use A-B contacts. • Running water. Being a Historic Building and trying to maintain the originality of the building each suite has a electric water boiler that gives you about 10 minutes of hot running water and then it takes about 10 more to recharge. • Remember that the water from the sink is not drinkable 7. Parking and transportation CASA SAUTO is greatly located in the heart of Mexico City, right next to many attractions, restaurants, night life, etc. In case you have a car, there is a parking lot across de street. Other means of transportation include: • Metro (subway, underground). The nearest station is Metro Allende and Metro Zocalo, which is a few blocks away, no more than 5 minutes walk. Each ride is $5 pesos (≈$0.25 USD). • Camiones and peseros/micros (buses and collective mini-buses). They run through various avenues and streets. Their stations, schedules and prices are quite chaotic, not so easy to find on the internet or elsewhere. Asking some of the users is the best alternative to get to know the routes! • Taxis. Mexico city has two types of taxis, those associated to a taxi stand (or sitio) and the taxis that circulate freely through the city. We strongly recommend the former since the latter are known for insecure. • Uber/Cabify. App based transportation is available in Mexico city. Your international Uber account should work. • Bicycle. The Ecobicis and Mobike are the public bicycle system of Mexico City. The former used to work only by yearly subscription, but now you can enroll on a daily basis with a credit card in some stations. Needless to say that you must be extremely careful riding a bicycle in Mexico City, where many (most?) of the traffic rules are simply not obeyed. • Walking. Casa Sauto is very well located to walk to many attractive places: museums, restaurants, all kind of services, etc. Same thing applies as with the bicycles: cars will not necessarily respect you! So take special care when crossing streets, etc. 8. Health / Safety Health: Should you require medical attention, the nearest hospital is Pharmacy Different locations in downtown.

  • PEATONALIZACIÓN DE LA CALLE MADERO DEL CENTRO HISTÓRICO DE LA CIUDAD DE MÉXICO Análisis Del Cambio En El Ámbito Comercial
    PEATONALIZACIÓN DE LA CALLE MADERO DEL CENTRO HISTÓRICO DE LA CIUDAD DE MÉXICO Análisis del cambio en el ámbito comercial Clara ORTEGA GARCÍA Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana. Unidad Azcapotzalco Directora: Mtra. Ma. del Carmen Bernárdez de la Granja Mail: [email protected] RESUMEN Existe en la Ciudad de México, como en otros lugares, una tendencia que ha protagonizado las revitalizaciones de espacios públicos realizadas en los últimos años, se trata de la peatonalización de calles o avenidas. Dicho tipo de intervención es, definitivamente impactante en cuanto que modifica determinantemente el uso y percepción del espacio. La constante insistencia por la necesidad de revitalizar el Centro Histórico de la Ciudad de México ha provocado, además de una evidente transformación de imagen urbana, otras mutaciones en el espacio urbano, cambios muy evidentes de carácter social, espacial y económico principalmente. Lo que aquí se presenta, es un análisis de éste tipo de intervención, realizada en la calle Francisco I. Madero, arteria vital del centro histórico, que cerró el tránsito vehicular en 2010 para priorizar el acceso exclusivamente peatonal al centro de la ciudad; los impactos generados a partir de éste suceso, principalmente en el ámbito comercial. Palabras clave: Centro Histórico, Revitalización, Peatonalización ABSTRACT In Mexico City exists a trend, as in other places, that has played a main role in the revitalization of public spaces in recent years: the pedestrianisation of streets or avenues. Such an intervention has an important impact since it crucially modifies the use and perception of space. Constant insistence for the need to revitalize Mexico City's Historic Center has caused, in addition to a clear transformation of urban image, other important mutations in the urban space, mainly of social, spatial and economic nature.

For more information, please contact [email protected], [email protected]. The Church of San Francisco, as the oldest and first established by the mendicant Franciscans in Mexico, acts as a repository of the past, collecting and embodying centuries of memories of the city and the congregation it continues to represent. Many factors have contributed to the church's significance; the prestige of its site, the particular splendor of ceremonies and rituals held at both the Church and the chapel of San Jose de los Naturalés, and the liturgical processions which originated there. While the religious syncretism of some churches, especially open air chapels, has been analyzed, the effect of communal inscription on the architecture of Mexico City is an area of study that has not been adequately researched. This project presents a holistic approach to history through memory theory, one which incorporates cross-disciplinary perspectives including sociology and anthropology.

  • Meet Me at Sanborns: Labor, Leisure, Gender and Sexuality in Twentieth-Century Mexico
    MEET ME AT SANBORNS: LABOR, LEISURE, GENDER AND SEXUALITY IN TWENTIETH-CENTURY MEXICO KEVIN M. CHRISMAN A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN HISTORY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO October, 2018 © Kevin M. Chrisman, 2018 ii Abstract This dissertation is a cultural history about Sanborns, a Mexican business that began as a drugstore in 1903. It continues into the present as a national chain of restaurants and department stores owned by the Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim. Each chapter explores different topics of analysis: modernity, consumerism, and upper-class leisure culture; revolutionary masculinity and racial politics; food, commodities, and Mexican nationalism; working-class labor struggles and company paternalism, and urban sexuality. The dissertation examines how everyday life created and was created by post-Revolutionary Mexico’s changing gender ideologies, evolving nationalist culture, and openness to foreign capital. It argues that the Sanborns chain has been an essential site of contestation and redefinition of gender roles across Mexico. Tracing the development of Sanborns contributes to the discussion of Mexico’s national culture during the twentieth-century. Commercial retailers and spaces of consumption helped shape Mexico’s urban landscape and consumer identities. The popularity of Sanborns was shaped by local consumer tastes and global technologies as they developed over time. My work describes the collaboration and conflict between Sanborns and its customers who used the floor space in their own way; the store began as a place of leisure for Mexico’s upper-class but evolved into a sexual space shared among classes.

  • Cosmopolitan Aspirations, Urban Encounters and Class Boundaries in Mexico City
    “For The Enjoyment of All:” Cosmopolitan Aspirations, Urban Encounters and Class Boundaries in Mexico City Alejandra M. Leal Martínez Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 © 2011 Alejandra M. Leal Martínez All rights reserved ABSTRACT “For The Enjoyment of All:” Cosmopolitan Aspirations, Urban Encounters and Class Boundaries in Mexico City Alejandra M. Leal Martínez This dissertation examines the production and experience of class and racial distinctions in contemporary Mexico City by focusing on encounter and proximity between different social groups in the country’s most emblematic urban center. It draws on eighteenth months of ethnographic fieldwork with artists and young professionals living in the city’s historic center as part of a public-private redevelopment plan locally known as the “rescue.” Led by multimillionaire Carlos Slim, this endeavor has been framed as an initiative of civil society to recover the symbolic heart of the nation from crime and illegality while transforming it into a secure and livable space for all Mexicans. The rescue mobilizes a neoliberal idiom of the modern (associated in Mexico and across the world with democracy and responsible citizenship, a retreating state and a free market economy) and epitomizes the illegibility of public and private distinctions. I focus on moments of encounter between the historic center’s new affluent residents, on the one hand, and the inhabitants of its dilapidated tenements and the vendors of its informal street markets, on the other. Such encounters slide into suspicion, uncertainty, instability and misrecognition.

  • Batallones Femeninos and Mare Advertencia Lirika Linda D
    ¡VIVAS NOS QUEREMOS! Feminist Activism in Hip-Hop Culture in México: Batallones Femeninos and Mare Advertencia Lirika Linda Daniela Villegas Mercado Department of Gender and Cultural Studies Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences University of Sydney A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctoral of Philosophy at the University of Sydney 2019 1 DECLARATION I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, it contains no material previously published or written by another person nor material which to a substantial extent has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma of the university or other institute of higher learning, except where due acknowledgement has been made in the text. Linda Daniela Villegas Mercado March 2019 2 ABSTRACT In a Mexican political context permeated by drug-related violence, organised crime, and violence against women and feminised bodies, young women with different class and ethnic backgrounds are using hip-hop culture to denounce the government and create consciousness in relation to feminicide in the country. This thesis focuses on the work of the female rap collective Batallones Femeninos (Women’s Battalions) which originated in the frontier of Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, and of Mare Advertencia Lirika, from the southern state of Oaxaca. Immersed in heavily male-dominated hip-hop culture, the female rappers in my research emerge as openly feminist artists and position their feminisms with reference to very particular geographical contexts, and class and ethnic backgrounds. In the case of Batallones, their feminism is informed by specific experiences in el barrio (the hood), of Juárez and Mexico City, the influence of autonomous Zapatismo, and their travels through the country.
