Estrategias de reproducción social de mujeres jóvenes rurales frente al narcotráfico
The drug trafficking was installed in the Tierra Caliente region since the sixties and has remained as a viable and legitimate alternative employment in rural areas of the region. Drug trafficking is a phenomenon primarily androcentric, but what is the role of young women in it? While the direct link in drug distribution activities is rare among young rural women of this region, their participation through the relationships established with the men involved in these activities promotes social mobility and the maintenance of social and family structures within of rural communities.
Juventud rural: Trayectorias teóricas y dilemas identitarios
Este articulo hace un recorrido critico de la produccion de conocimiento sobre la juventud, particularmente rural, en America Latina. Plantea, entre otros aspectos, la falta de investigacion cientifico-social —especialmente desde la antropologia y la sociologia rural— en dimensiones fundamentales como la conformacion de las juventudes rurales como sujetos identitarios y actores sociales. Se analizan los elementos teoricos contextuales que han provocado esta carencia, asi como los aportes que pudieran cimentar una preocupacion cientifico-social sistematica. El estudio propone una reelaboracion conceptual de algunas aproximaciones teoricas sobre identidad juvenil, con el fin de resolver las carencias en la generacion de conocimiento sobre estos actores, la mayoria de las veces negados, por lo que se vuelven "invisibles" o estereotipados desde el punto de vista de su existencia sociocultural. Finalmente, se presentan algunos avances de la investigacion antropologica en Chile a partir de historias de vida cuyo fin es retroalimentar la discusion sobre el surgimiento de las juventudes rurales como actores sociales y sujetos identitarios desde una perspectiva diacronica
Saturday Night and Sunday Morning
Working all day at a lathe leaves Arthur Seaton with energy to spare in the evenings. A hard-drinking, hard-fighting young rebel of a man, he knows what he wants and he's sharp enough to get it. And before long, his carryings-on with a couple of married women is local gossip. But then one evening he meets a young girl in a pub, and Arthur's life begins to look less simple. Allan Sillitoe's classic novel of the 1950's is a story of timeless significance. The film of the novel, starring Albert Finney, transformed British cinema and was much imitated. "That rarest of all finds: a genuine no-punches-pulled, unromanticised working class novel. Mr Sillitoe is a born writer, who knows his milieu and describes it with vivid, loving precision." - "Daily Telegraph". "His writing has real experience in it and an instinctive accuracy that never loses its touch. His book has a glow about it as though he had plugged it into some basic source of the working-class spirit." - "Guardian". "Miles nearer the real thing than D.H.Lawrence's mystic, brooding working-men ever came." - "Sunday Express". "Very outspoken and vivid." - "Sunday Times". "A refreshing originality." - "Times Literary Supplement".
