Ser indio en La Terminal
Being an Indian in La Terminal.This article focuses on Indian people whose way of life garound the main supplying market of Guatemala City. To achieve the latter three groups are analytically distinguished according to the relation the have with their birthplace and this capital city: a) tradesmen whose home is their native soil and they get there on and off in order to negotiate, b) im migrants who are now steady in habitants in the city, and finally, c) peo-ple who were born or have already adapted to this place. While describing how each one of the last mentioned develop different ways of urban insertion, this work wants to emphasise the way in which they derive in to different practices and contents regarding the fact of being Indians. This heterogeneity is found in a scenery as La Terminal, a kind of is land within the urban world where a redoubt has been created and where the command has been already taken. But the relative autonomy which they have allowed themselves towards the interior of a capital city which has been systematically denied as Indians, cannot be understood without taking in to consideration that it is produced from the social exclusion as well as from resistance.

Música, lugar y espacio: la música como recurso colectivo en San Cristóbal de Las Casas
Music, place and space: Music as a collective resource in San Cristobal de Las Casas.This work analyses the way in which live music is used, controlled and exploited in San Cristobal de Las Casas as a collective resource by a group which is self-called as the "coleto" in regards to the other two ethnic groups that exist in the city: the group of "indigenous" and the group of "foreign residents", in order to create a kind of a collective place. Modernity is supposed to have participated in the dissociation of place and space and space and time and consequently of the withdrawal of existing social relationships towards places that have little or nothing to do with the specific space-temporal dimension which the mentioned places have as a reference.
