El artículo abarca las modalidades de penetración de empresas y mercancías chinas en los mercados populares regionales y evidencia las articulaciones, vínculos y circuitos globales que se van cristalizando en estos procesos. El tipo de relacionamiento entre China y los mercados populares regionales parece poner en cuestión conceptos como el "Consenso de Beijing" o la "Cooperación Sur- Sur" e inducirnos a reflexionar en nociones y vínculos de lo g…
"Una pata en la chacra y una en el mercado". La reconfiguración de la economía campesina en La Paz
El artículo aborda algunas de las transformaciones de las economías campesinas bolivianas durante los últimos años del “proceso de cambio”.

The first book-length anthropological approach to revolutions, Anthropologies of Revolution proposes that revolutions should be seen as concerted attempts to radically reconstitute the worlds people inhabit. Viewing revolutions as all-embracing, world-creating projects, the authors ask readers to move beyond the idea of revolutions as acts of violent political rupture, and …

In the Christian tradition, representing the divine has often been considered both an impossible and yet necessary endeavour rooted in the human need in certain moments of weakness to visualize God. In this article, based on research findings from fieldwork carried out with urban indigenous groups in La Paz, Bolivia, I suggest that the articulation of local and Catholic representational traditions and practices has produced an understanding of th…
The ‘postulate of abundance’. Cholo market and religion in La Paz, Bolivia
In Bolivia's capital city, La Paz, urbanised indigenous highlanders (cholos) have produced one of the most successful experiments of indigenous entrepreneurship in the region. Rejecting locally dominant bourgeois values, for example modesty and thriftiness, cholos run a thriving transnational economy of conspicuous consumption placing moral emphasis on spending in excess, and rapidly materialising profit into abundant display – whether through dr…
Three narratives of anthropological engagement
This article is an account of different experiences, reflections and impressions that have arisen when embarking on the process of doing anthropological research and writing a thesis. The common ground of these three narratives is that they refer to our personal engagement with anthropology, our experiences within the academic world, as well as to our restless endeavour to make sense of them. We are particularly concerned with the language, the m…

In this intercultural context, the interplay of resistance and inclusion attempts to redress the oppressive discriminating practices experience…
