Dispositivos sociales y márgenes de maniobra en el manejo de dineros
Por qu dineros, en plural?La verdad es que hoy en da es ineludible hablar de dineros en plural.Y es que los dispositivos para registrar y medir valor, fortuna, deuda, crdito, capital son variados, dinmicos y cambiantes.Esto no es novedad para cientficos sociales de la economa y las finanzas.Histricamente, ha existido una amplia gama de formas de representar valor: desde conchas, granos de cacao y notas registradas en un papel y firmadas por quien…
Dimensiones de género ante el Covid-19
La pandemia ha tenido implicaciones a distintos niveles. Aquí se muestra el impacto en mujeres transfronterizas que vieron afectada su vida laboral, la lucha por sus derechos y sus labores como cuidadoras. Se subraya la intrínseca articulación entre las relaciones económicas y sociales de pobladores de ambos lados de la frontera, las dimensiones de género que afectan a las mujeres en contextos transfronterizos y la diferenciación social que se ge…

The problem of future calculations in financial practices has been a recurring theme in the Seminar on the Anthropology of Money and Economics that we organized at CIESAS Occidente. The articles in this section have been the subject of discussion and dialogue in that seminar; they explore the imaginaries of the future from different sectors of society in Mexico, Ecuador, Chile and the Basque Country
Juggling Currencies in Transborder Contexts
Financial practices only partially entail money. People and institutions weave their economic lives intermixing pecuniary but also social, cultural, geographic, moral, and emotional elements. These elements are often knitted together in ways that appear erratic or that only conform to established models in a single dimension, which leaves the analyst ill-informed concerning the workings of finance in everyday life. Fortunately, conceptual tools t…

Financial Practices on “the Borderlands” (La Línea) in Times of Crisis
Financial practices are not only about money. This paper discusses how people living and working in the Mexico/United States borderlands weave their economic lives by combining, associating, and disassociating formal and “informal” currencies. We base our analysis on transactions carried out by women who commute regularly between the twin cities of Mexicali and Calexico, detailing their financial practices; the frameworks of calculation they empl…
La richesse en jonglant
Fondée sur un travail d’ethnographie en Inde et au Mexique, cette étude s’interroge sur la nature de la richesse dans les opérations financières quotidiennes de deux femmes. La richesse n’est pas seulement affaire de revenus monétaires réels ou de ressources quantifiables possédées par une personne ou une famille, elle est également liée à la façon dont certaines ressources matérielles et symboliques sont déployées et dotées de sens dans un conte…
Mexicanos endeudados en la crisis hipotecaria en California
En este artículo se discute cómo los inmigrantes mexicanos que buscaban crear un patrimonio para sus familias en Estados Unidos se vieron atrapados en lo que ha sido etiquetado como uno de los orígenes de una crisis financiera mundial. El análisis de sus casos y el desencadenamiento de la crisis nos permite examinar el funcionamiento de marcos dentro de los cuales las personas y las instituciones articulan factores sociales, culturales, raciales …

Regimes of Value in Mexican Household Financial Practices
In this article I discuss the workings of regimes of value and the ways in which social, cultural, moral, and economic relations act to structure monetary frameworks. It is based on three ethnographic accounts: one involves Mexicans caught up in the mortgage crisis in California, another focuses on indigenous people in Chiapas whose livelihoods are increasingly relying on monetized transactions, and the third concerns women in Guadalajara who man…
Deudas, drogas, fiado y prestado en las tiendas de abarrotes rurales
En este artículo se analizan los dispositivos financieros a los que recurren los pobladores rurales en el occidente de México para sostener sus - generalmente precarias - economías familiares. Con base en información etnográfica sobre la interacción con tenderos se discuten distintos tipos de deuda, ahorro y préstamo, enfatizando la importancia del espacio simbólico y social que se genera en torno a estas transacciones. El argumento central es qu…
Cálculos financieros y fronteras sociales en una economía de deuda y morralla
The article explores frameworks of calculation and value attribution in women ́s everyday financial practices in the context of a cash and debt economy. The analysis is based on ethnographic information, as well as a survey carried out in 2007 within marginal sectors of the city of Guadalajara. It is argued that the struggle to increase and make the most of income, resources and capitals engages social and cultural aspects and involves multiple d…
Does the Sex of Firstborn Children Influence Subsequent Fertility Behavior
According to recent studies in evolutionary anthropology, firstborn daughters influence both parity progression and sibling survival by acting as so-called helpers at the nest. Based on 534 sets of household data from family reconstitution, the current analysis fails to show that offspring sex had any direct impact on maternal fertility, sibling survivorship, birth spacing, or reproductive span. Instead, the results indicate that fertility decisi…
Small Product, Big Issues
This article follows the trajectory of maize husks from their production sites in rural Western Mexico to diverse consumption and commercialization locales both within the country and in the United States, showing how the uses and meanings of specific products are continuously reassembled and transformed within the livelihoods and social networks of Mexicans living in a transnational world. By highlighting the multiplicities and ambiguities of so…
Wielding and yielding
Three lines of inquiry can be found in the present study. The first is of an empirical nature. It is a story of a group of women and a development project, based upon field research I carried out in 1987-88 concerning a group of female beekeepers who were organized as an UAIM (Unidad Agrícola e Industrial de la Mujer Campesina, Agrarian and Industrial Unit of Peasant Women) in Ayuquila, a small rural community in western Mexico. The initiative wa…
