- Patricia Safa. Vida urbana, heterogeneidad cultural y desigualdades sociales: el estudio en México de sectores populares urbanos. Safa. Patricia. Urban life. cultural heterogeneity and social Inequalities: the study of the popular urban sectors In Mexico. Facing the influence of the explanations about the popular culture (that is to say. the practices and beliefes that belong to the people) and of the theoretical incapability to understand the change processes which characterize our society as wel las its complexity. Safa proposes in this article to formulate new questions and points of view that can explain the cultural phenomena in big cities. analysing the processes which lead the peopleto solve their needs. according with certain objective conditions that the city offers. In this way. she points his atention in two fundamental aspects: the fissures of the paradigmes and the search of new roads from the homogeneous to the diversity of the practices; and the analysis of urban life for the study of cities of multiple history, acceses and uses. For the author. these subjects are the main challenges that the antropological research faces in big cities like Mexico City.

Pentecostalismo rural y urbano en México, diferencias y semejanzas Trabajo y urbe.
- Carlos Garma Navarro. Pentecostalismo rural y urbano en México, diferencias y semejanzas Trabajo y urbe. Garma Navarro. Carlos. Rural and urban Pentecostalism In Mexico. differences and simlarities. Retaking the investigation outline about religious minorities. Garma Navarro compares the effects of the religious convertion in notably differentiate contexts. He centers his attention in the Pentecostal churches. because they represent the protestant branch with a higher number of followers in Latin America. He chooses for his analysis the town of lxtepec, located in the North Mountain Range of Puebla. where most of the population is native (totonaca): and the town of Iztapalapa. an ancient settlement of nahuatl origin that was absorved by the constant growing of Mexico City. but it still has strong traditions of popular catholic religiousness. and at the same time. it counts whit the higher concentration of protestant chapels allover the metropolitan area. Therefore. the author compares the urban and rural environments: a) the economical impact and the behavioural patterns of the protestants: b) the meaning of the religious convertion over the family unity and relationships: c) the internal organization and the political effect over leadership among the Pentecostals and. d) the similarities observed in the city and in the country in the beliefs and the pentecostal ritual cosmogony. that makes this religion an useful bridge between the rural life and the urban one.
