Reese, 2015 Reese - 2 There are times within a historical event that certain significant elements of that transforming occasion can be overlooked or not realized. This can be said for a group of soldiers who defected from the United States Army and went to fight for the Mexican forces during the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848. The Saint Patrick’s Battalion, or San Patricio Battalion, was a band of over two hundred men, of predominantly Irish decent, who are seldom recognized and stand apart during this event. These men represent not only the unique and little known incident amongst the past of both the United States and Mexico, but the particular reasons and motivations that drove them to take the actions that they did.

  • El Asentamiento De Xaltocan Durante El Posclásico En La Cuenca De México
    El estudio de la clase común: el asentamiento de Xaltocan durante el Posclásico en la cuenca de México Elizabeth M. Brumfiel Northwestern University RESUMEN : Bill Sanders se dedicó al estudio de la gente común, de las masas poblacionales que sustentaron con su trabajo el estilo de vida opulento de las elites que detentaban el poder. Mediante trabajos de superficie en la escala regional, Sanders y sus discípulos rastrearon la historia de la gente común con base en los vestigios de los paisajes agrícolas y los patrones de asentamiento. Este ensayo tiene como objetivo responder dos interrogantes acerca del estatus de la gente común en la cuenca de México durante el Posclásico. En primer lugar nos preguntamos si la gente común se benefició con la hegemonía azteca. ¿Acaso la unificación política de la región simbiótica del centro de México permitió que el intercambio de productos entre diferentes zonas ecológicas impulsara la especialización y resultara en estándares de vida más altos entre la gente común a pesar del pago de tributos que exigían los aztecas? En segundo lugar nos cuestionamos si la gente común contribuyó, tanto con ideas como con su trabajo, al desarrollo social de Mesoamérica durante el Posclásico. Si, como planteó Sanders, “innovaciones y variaciones surgen constantemente” y permiten que las sociedades se adapten de manera más efectiva a su medio ambiente, surge la interrogante de si la gente común fue una fuente de innovación o si ésta fue el producto de los administradores, sacerdotes y artesanos que residían en las urbes. Las investigaciones arqueológicos en unidades habitacionales del Posclásico en Xaltocan, en la porción norte de la cuenca de México, nos permiten dar respuesta a las preguntas que aquí formulamos.

  • Conceptos Y Productores De Lugar: Un Acercamiento Etnográfico a La Condesa En La Ciudad De México
    FACULTAD LATINOAMERICANA DE CIENCIAS SOCIALES SEDE ACADÉMICA MÉXICO MAESTRÍA EN CIENCIAS SOCIALES XVII PROMOCIÓN 2008-2010 Conceptos y productores de lugar: Un acercamiento etnográfico a La Condesa en la Ciudad de México Tesis para obtener el grado de Maestro en Ciencias Sociales Presenta: Daniel Hurtado Cano Director de tesis: Dr. Pablo Federico Semán Lectores de tesis: Dra. Maria Carolina Agoff y Dr. Genaro Aguirre Aguilar Seminario de tesis: Sociología Cultural y Conceptual México, D. F. Julio de 2010 Esta tesis corresponde a los estudios realizados con una beca otorgada por la Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores del Gobierno de México i RESUMEN Esta investigación comprende cómo, a través de los conceptos que construyen los productores de lugar, se expresan relaciones entre lo nacional y lo cosmopolita, lo moderno y lo tradicional, lo exclusivo y lo excluido en La Condesa de la Ciudad de México. El sustento teórico está construido a partir de la sociología cultural desarrollada por Alexander, los marcos de referencia de Goffman y la noción de cultura descrita por Geertz. La entrevista semi-estructurada y la descripción etnográfica fueron las estrategias centrales de abordaje en campo: la primera permitió ahondar en criterios claves como la zona, el lugar, la historia, el nombre, el negocio y la estética; la segunda, facilitó presentar en detalle el registro realizado en los lugares caracterizados en la Condesa. El tipo de muestreo utilizado, a partir del principio de selección gradual desarrollado por Flick, es la estrategia de muestreo de variación máxima. Finalmente, el escrito está estructurado en cuatro capítulos: 1) Conceptos y productores de lugar: trasfondo desde la sociología cultural, 2) La Condesa, conceptos y productores: una etnografía desde sus lugares, 3) La Condesa y las zonas de consumo, cultura y entretenimiento en Ciudad de México: una lectura desde DF de Culto y, 4) conclusiones.
