El pensamiento salvaje y la importancia de ser imperfectohot!
-
Ma. Eugenia Olavarría. The savage thought and the importance of being imperfect.
The article ponders over the structuralism based on the thesis of The savage thought. It places the proposal of Lévi-Strauss within the framework of anthropological paradigms and it keeps its distance in order to get— through criticism— to a perspective of the relationship between science and logics of the concrete as a system which, if it attempts to be complete. cannot be perfect.

No una sino varias escenas, una paráfrasis de los signos y los sÃmbolos salvajeshot!

Elizabeth Araiza. Not one but many scenes, a paraphrase of signs and savages signs.
This article ponders over the unity or analytical differentiation between theatre and rituals regarding indigenous and rural contexts. It shows the two alternatives: theatre as an event versus theater as a performance or symbolization; argument that leads the author, in one unique movement, to choose to analyse in a parallel way, what can be theatre in rituals and ritual in theatre.

Cultura y comportamientohot!

Roberto Varela. Culture and behaviour.
If culture were conceived as a shared group of signs and symbols, it would be pertinent to distinguish it from behaviour. Then, there would be two different realities, though related: culture and behaviour. This is the way the article develops and it also proposes the convenience of distinguishing, at the same time, culture from other closer realities as determined material conditions and regular devices. Lastly, a brief exploration of passions is made.

La ofensa, el mentÃs y el duelo de honorhot!

Sergio Pérez Cortés. Offense, Denial and the honour duel.
The complex code of honour and dignity of the 16th. and 17th. centuries in Europe is presented in this article as a verbal device which —disjointed in its finest mechanisms— shows that denial’s efficiency, as the supreme offense, lies in its capacity to take the offended individual out of the society of gentlemen. Also, this article shows how truth —nature of a honorable man— guarantees the offended soul to remain as part of the human community.
