Spirituality in spaces of waiting
This article aims to analyze the practices of sacralization deployed by migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers to cope with the waiting times to which they are subjected in contexts of migratory entrapment. The research is based on in-depth interviews and participant observation conducted in catholic, evangelical, Muslim, and secular shelters established in Tijuana (the northern border of Mexico), which we conceptualize as places of waiting. We i…
To Teach the Body What Is Not Good
From a cultural phenomenology approach, this paper analyzes the experiences of spiritual warfare lived in an Evangelical Rehabilitation Center. The ethnographic study was conducted in Tijuana, B.C., Mexico. The discussion focuses on three paradigmatic cases, allowing us to analyze the transition from 'life in addiction' to the experience of transforming desires, which also implies a process of subjectivity. We argue that desire is a bodily phenom…
Waiting in Motion. Migrants' Involvement in Civil Society Organizations While Pursuing a Migration Project
This article discusses how strandedness is produced for asylum seekers and migrants in northern Mexico. We argue that it is fundamental to place these populations’ subjective experiences at the core of the analysis to understand their active stance in making meaning of their circumstances. We suggest a typology for approaching the migration projects that emerge while stranded and discuss migrants and asylum seekers’ active involvement in Civil So…
La nueva era de las tradiciones. El proceso de corporización como eje articulador en las experiencias rituales de bienestar
El objetivo de este artículo es analizar las experiencias emocionales asociadas a la gestión del bienestar entre participantes de la tradición de danza azteca en Tijuana, México. Se parte por abordar el modo en que la adscripción a la tradición de la danza forma parte de un proceso de desoccidentalización de la espiritualidad en la modernidad. Posteriormente, se discute la manera en que las trayectorias espirituales de los participantes colocan a…
Una mirada retrospectiva y nuevas reflexiones sobre los procesos de embodiment como paradigma y orientación metodológica para la Antropología
On January 22, 2021 we had a conversation with Professor Thomas Csordas in which he presented the reflections that preceded and accompanied the development of one of his contributions to the field of Anthropology, the paradigm of embodiment, also enunciated by him as a methodological orientation for the study of culture and the self from the processes of embodiment
Embodiment and somatic modes of attention in the evangelical care model in drug rehabilitation centers (Tijuana, Mexico)
This article identifies how beliefs, practices, and religious communities converge in the structuring of the evangelical drug rehabilitation model (ERM). Based on a qualitative study, we propose that the ERM shapes the ways of interpreting emotions and sensations based on a beliefs system that conceives the body as a battle field between good and evil. Sensations produced through ritual experience and symptomatic manifestations relative to withdr…
Loneliness, adolescence, and global mental health
In this article, we call into question recent public health claims that loneliness is a problem of epidemic proportions. Current research on this topic is hindered by an overreliance on limited survey data and by paradigmatic imbalance that delineates the study of loneliness to psychological, cognitive, neuroendocrinological and immunological effects, social functioning, physical health, mortality, and gene effects. The article emphasizes that sc…
Productive Misunderstandings
Renacer en Cristo
Este artículo analiza desde el paradigma del Embodiment, las experiencias corporizadas que viven quienes se someten a un tratamiento de rehabilitación de adicciones en los centros de tipo evangélico pentecostal, en Tijuana, Baja California, México. El estudio está estructurado en tres ejes principales: la transformación de la apariencia física y su relación con la concepción subjetiva del cuerpo; la obediencia al sistema de normas como una tecnol…
