José Luis Díaz, 80 años
José Luis Diaz, que cumple 80 años, es un sabio. Un gran sabio. No estoy exagerando en lo más mínimo. Su sabiduría se expandió con gran creatividad en los terrenos de la neurología, donde ha hecho contribuciones muy originales. Pero es el autor de una amplísima obra que se ha convertido en un gran caldo de cultivo de estimulantes ideas. Desde mi perspectiva, en el centro de sus reflexiones y sus descubrimientos se encuentra el tema de la concienc…
On theexocerebrum
This is an exchange of letters by email occurred in 2005. They reflect a discussion on fundamental issues of the study of consciousness and the brain. The starting point was Bartra’s text on the exocerebrum. This text is now expanded into a book published in English by Cambridge University Press in 2014: Anthropology of the Brain: Consciousness, Culture, and Free Will. All Harnad’s texts are in italics
La batalla de las ideas y las emociones en América Latina
The long and labyrinthine process that Latin America has undergone in its way towards democracy has been marked by the same confrontations and quarrels present throughout the Western intellectual history, which have sometimes been expressed as a fight between "ideas and emotions." In Latin America, this intellectual quarrel may be described in Julio Cortazar’s terms, as a struggle between "Baroque cronopios" versus "Gothic fames," or as a war bet…
Exocerebrum
Exocerebrum ( exocerebro in Spanish) is a concept developed by Mexican anthropologist Roger Bartra to explain human consciousness. It is a symbolic system of cultural prostheses that substitutes the cerebral circuits that are incapable by themselves of completing functions that are characteristic of human mental behavior
Las revistas científicas en la revolución digital
Es urgente definir si nuestras revistas, concretamente la que estamos celebrando, la Revista Mexicana de Sociología, pero también otras revistas especializadas en ciencias sociales en México, deben seguir más o menos por el mismo camino, o si es necesario hacer algunas innovaciones y algunos cambios ante la peculiar situación que enfrentamos: el inmenso agujero negro que se abre con la digitalización masiva de información y de textos

Dilemas en las ciencias sociales
A partir de su amplia, larga y exitosa carrera académica, el autor presenta una serie de reflexiones sobre las ciencias sociales dirigidas principalmente a quienes se inician en su estudio. En particular, aborda los dilemas a que se enfrentan quienes transitan por temas o puntos de vista que los colocan al margen, en la periferia o en las fronteras lejanas. Para ello presenta a un personaje imaginario, un/una estudiante de ciencias sociales busca…
Blood, Ink, and Culture
Pens and swords, words and blows: for Roger Bartra, the culture of ink and the culture of blood offer two contrasting approaches to the political transformations of our time. In this compilation of essays, Bartra thinks through these transformations by tracing the complex interplay between popular culture, nationalist ideology, civil society, and the state in contemporary Mexico.Written with verve over a period of twenty years, these essays-most …
Julio Cortázar y la apropiación del otro
R. Lane Kauffmann, Roger Bartra, Julio Cortázar y la apropiación del otro: "Axolotl" como fábula etnográfica (Julio Cortázar and the Appropriation of the Other: "Axolotl" as an Ethnographic Fable), Revista Mexicana de Sociología, Vol. 63, No. 4 (Oct. - Dec., 2001), pp. 223-232

Stuffing the Indian photographically
Ethnographic photography is a play of mimetic surfaces: skin, cloth, faces, masks; plates, film, prints, papers. Every attempt to undress reality merely adds another thin layer of skin. In developing his film, the photographer is playing with subde and transparent veils. The transparency of the lenses, film and liquids makes it possible for the photographer to discover what Walter Benjamin called the optical unconscious of the subjects automatica…
The Imperial Dilemma
Au coeur de la Renaissance, un dilemme se posait entre l'explication naturelle de l'existence de l'homme sauvage et la recherche d'influences infernales dans les coutumes etranges. Au 16 eme siecle, le mythe de l'homme sauvage s'exprimait de manieres differentes : le paganisme conserve dans le folklore, le mysticisme exaltant la communication naturelle avec la divinite, l'esprit populaire de la Reforme critiquant la corruption, et l'humanisme chr…

Identity and Wilderness. Ethnography and the History of an Imaginary Primitive Group
A theoretical and methodological research aimed to generate a deconstruction or anatomy of one of the most ancient primitive groups in the West: the Wild Man. The homo sylvaticus, that fascinating hairy creature, is present mainly in European Medieval imagery, but has its roots in classical Antiquity and extends its influence until Modern times. This study, linked to the discussions arisen by the near celebration of the fifth centenary of the "di…
Culture and Political Power in Mexico
Slowly and sluggishly in a process filled with contradictions, the socialist movement is beginning to realize that the battleground and the rules of combat have substantially changed. Marxism is experiencing a crisis mainly because of its difficulty in explaining the new conditions surrounding the class struggle. Marxists, and a good part of the communist and socialist movement, have had to face the fact that orthodox explanations had discarded a…
La crisis del nacionalismo en México
Una de las ideas mis extendidas en las ciencias sociales es la que explica al nacionalismo como un instrumento para resolver los conflictos sociales y como un medio de dominaci6n. El hecho evidente de que el nacionalismo, en incontables ocasiones, cumple una funcion legitimadora de los sistemas politicos modernos, le agrega un aura de certldumbre a esta idea. Y sin embargo es necesario introducir la duda: por que una vinculacion funcional debe re…
Crisis agraria y diferenciación social en México
Melancolía y metamorfosis del mexicano
Agrarian crisis and social differentiation in Mexico
This article explores the double crisis of Mexican agriculture: one relating to the capitalist sector, the other to the peasant economy. An analysis of cash crops in contrast with subsistence crops is provided, using production and prices data for the 940-83 period. Then, based on the 1970 census, we present a spectrum of social differentiation of agrarian producers in Mexico which reflects the extent to which the peasant economy had been eroded …

Peasants and Political Power in Mexico
December 10, 1848, was the day of the peasant insurrection. Only from this day does the February of the French peasants date. The symbol that expressed their entry into the revolutionary moment, clumsily cunning, knavishly naive, doltishly sublime, a calculated superstition, a pathetic burlesque, a cleverly stupid anachronism, a world historical piece of buffoonery and an undecipherable hieroglyphic for the understanding of the civilized - this s…
