"Escolarizando" a Méxicohot!

Hernández Prado, José. "Escolarizando" a México
Una queja recurrente entre los profesores de todos los programas de licenciatura que se imparten en las universidades públicas mexicanas, tanto en la capital como en el interior de la República, se refiere al bajo nivel académico que poseen los estudiantes que ingresan a tales programas de estudios. Muy poco importa aquí la disciplina en cuestión. Puede tratarse de una licenciatura en medicina o de una en derecho o administración pública; de una carrera universitaria básica en cualquiera de las ingenierías, o bien en algún área específica de las ciencias sociales, como la economía, la antropología social o la sociología.

Mena Ledesma, Patricia. Actitudes lingüísticas e ideologías educativas
LINGUISTIC ATTITUDES AND EDUCATIVE IDEOLOGIES.Despite great efforts from the Mexican state in order to achieve that a formal education to the indigenous people take its place as a chief issue of the Mexican society, the results have turned out to be quite poor. The topic of linguistic ideologies from the particular point of discussion, offers the possibility of understanding the reason why great efforts and investments, related to the educative level among the indigenous population, should also consider this viewpoint. The following considerations belong to a research developed in the north and southern Zapoteca region as well as in the Triqui region of the state of Oaxaca (1994-1995) in a project called “Teaching practice and teachers attitudes towards the indigenous education”. This article concretely refers to the participants themselves linguistic ideologies expressed within diverse tendencies such as narrative judgements and arguments regarding the usage and functioning of languages (indigenous/ Spanish), since this is where social decisions are constructed and verified in order to either support or reject projects such as the intercultural bilingual education. This work embodies a conceptual journey between two disciplinary fields that offer some explanations about the phenomenon of linguistic ideologies: sociolinguistics and anthropology.

Rubel, Arthur J. y Carole H. Browner. Antropología de la salud en Oaxaca
THE ANTHROPOLOGY OF HEALTH IN OAXACA.This paper reviews the past fifty years of Oaxacan ethnomedical research. We focus on how this work has contributed to a broader understanding of cultural processes and social organization on Oaxaca. Special attention is devoted to describing the relationships between Oaxacan ethnomedical paradigms and views of the sacred, supernatural and spiritual; how humoral theories of illness etiology have informed anthropological research; and how interactions between ethonomedical and biomedical systems are transforming both systems.

Nahmad Sitton, Salomón. Autonomía indígena y soberanía nacional: el caso de la Ley Indígena de Oaxaca
INDIGENOUS AUTONOMY AND NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY: THE CASE OF THE LAW OF RIGHTS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND COMMUNITIES OF THE STATE OF OAXACA.This essay is a brief description of the relationship between the disciplines of anthropology and law, and how the dialogue between the two disciplines has contributed to the redefinition of the changes in political constitutions and laws concerning the rights of indigenous villages. The case of the Law of the Rights of Indigenous Villages and Communities of the State of Oaxaca is studied more concretely. Special attention is also payed to how the recognition of indigenous autonomy does not affect the national sovereignty. The case-study mentioned discusses how the indigenous villages in the past maintained their own judicial systems and how these are still maintained at the communitarian and municipal level in the context of Oaxaca. This case-study also reconsiders the discussion of the internal decolonization of Mexico in order to incorporate indigenous villages into national and state legal structures.
