Obituario a Pilar Sanchíz Ochoa (1941-2025)
Dispositivos de seguridad. Afectos, prácticas y relaciones en medios urbanos: Libro coordinado por Claudia Zamorano, Guénola Capron y Arturo Díaz Cruz
El libro adopta la noción de dispositivo tomada de Foucault, donde lo importante no es sólo un conjunto heterogéneo de artefactos tecnológicos y elementos simbólicos, legales y discursivos, humanos y no humanos, sino las redes que los interconectan para lograr el objetivo deseado –la seguridad. Este enfoque resulta más efectivo para dar cuenta del desbordamiento de límites entre lo público y lo privado, así como de la dialéctica entre des-estatal…
Modes of governance and the ethnography of activism at the Mexico-US border
Inspired by political philosophy, critical studies of border regimes often reduce human rights and relief work to some accomplice role in migratory control and surveillance. Drawing on ethnographic research on pro-migrant activism in Tijuana, a large city on Mexico's northern border, I contrast such critical literature on border policies with an anthropological approach to the study of organizations and bureaucracies. In particular, drawing atten…
Hacer legible a Ciudad Neza: Reestatalización del gobierno mediante la reforma policial democrática
Based on an ethnographic review of professional experiences in “democratic security” policies in Mexico (2011-2017), this paper analyzes the appropriation of community policing schemes by certain local authorities. As illustrated by the neighborhood police service in Ciudad Nezahualcóyotl, this process involves diverse actors such as social scientists and members of civil society organizations, whose co-production of security and citizen particip…
Dualism and entanglement in anthropological approaches to statehood
Within the discipline of anthropology, the tension between persisting quests for 'difference' and historically holistic approaches to interdependence is most evident in current debates on statehood. In various ways, these debates engage with and expand political anthropology's old concern with the articulation between different forms of politics and social organization. A latent reference point for these debates is the concept of the state as a d…

Citizens' Media Against Armed Conflict: Disrupting Violence in Colombia - by Rodríguez, Clemencia
La socialización del consultor antropológico: De La Práctica a Los Marcos Normativos De La Política Pública
Whether they reject or advocate so-called applied anthropology, many anthropologists share logics similar to those of the members of policy’s professional communities. This overlap is reflected in assumptions about the separation of theory and “its” practice, as well as in different attempts to resolve the tension between the general and the particular. Both these similarities and the epistemological differences between anthropology and policy ar…
Consultorías (pos)modernas: La mímica del positivismo y la construcción del conocimiento en la evaluación de programas sociales
Una revista científica, con revisión por pares, que publica investigación empírica y contribuciones teóricas en sociología, antropología, sociodemografía, y disciplinas afines. Nuestra misión es presentar los resultados de la investigación de la más alta calidad, con énfasis en América Latina, pero con proyección y alcance global
Opportunities for the Poor, Co-responsibilities for Women: Female Capabilities and Vulnerability in Human Development Policy and Practice
This paper looks at a particular type of anti‐poverty aid and its implications for gender inequality. The development model underpinning the Mexican Oportunidades Programme, a ‘flagship’ in Latin America, focuses on the reduction of inter‐generational poverty through transfers conditioned on ‘co‐responsibilities’ fulfilled especially by mothers and aimed at strengthening the human capital of household members. Through a consultant‐insider narrati…

Land Recuperation and Conflict on the Margins of State Formation in Northern Chiapas 1
Drawing on a historical and anthropological study of peasant indigenous land recovery and rural conflict, this paper explores the particular forms acquired by the formation, development, and crisis of the post-revolutionary Mexican State in the Maya Chol region of northern Chiapas. A combination of archival and ethnographic research, including local storytelling, on the ejido of El Limar offers a contextualized case study of the State as a contra…
