Se abordan las coordenadas centrales que caracterizaron el proceso político en el contexto de un México en disputa y en debate. A partir de la polémica sobre el balance de los resultados de estos comicios, centrado en torno a quiénes fueron los triunfadores y quiénes perdieron cargos públicos. Se analizan las causas evidentes de la fragmentación del voto. Apunta a la crisis epocal de credibilidad y participación que atraviesan las instituciones, los partidos políticos en particular, fenómeno compartido en la región y en el mundo entero. También se analizan los factores que apuntan a señalar que el ejercicio de la política en el proceso denominado como Cuarta Transformación (4T) se desarrolla aún de forma excesivamente vertical, sobre todo al dimensionar la figura dominante de su principal líder y presidente del país, Andrés Manuel López Obrador. También se valoran las condiciones en que quedó el partido gobernante tras los comicios intermedios, contemplando cierta merma de la cohesión interna y el abandono de grupos de militantes, teniendo como parámetro de futuro las elecciones presidenciales de 2024. Como cierre del análisis, el autor se cuestiona qué tanto el proceso de construcción de hegemonía es un objetivo central de la 4T, que a la vez pueda trascender no sólo la próxima cita electoral, sino el desafío de convertirse en eje de toda una época política afirmada desde el obradorismo nacido a gobierno en 2018.
本文讨论了墨西哥政治进程的中心协调特征，这是一个有争议和辩论的墨西哥。从关于这些选举结果平衡的争议开始，围绕谁是赢家，谁失去了公职。分析了投票分裂的明显原因。它指出了各机构，特别是各政党正在经历的信誉和参与方面的历史性危机，这是该区域和全世界共有的现象。本文还分析了一些因素，这些因素表明，在被称为第四次转型(4T)的过程中，政治的行使仍然过于垂直，特别是通过扩大其主要领导人和国家总统andres Manuel lopez Obrador的主导地位。此外，还评估了执政党在中期选举后的状况，考虑到内部凝聚力的下降和激进团体的放弃，并将2024年的总统选举作为未来的参数。关闭等分析,提交人质疑构建流程多霸权是4T,同时能超越不仅下一次选举日期,挑战成为整个时间轴的政策从obradorismo政府在2018年出生。

En el artículo se presenta un análisis del escenario político ecuatoriano que se abre con las movilizaciones de octubre de 2019 y desemboca en las elecciones presidenciales de 2021. Mediante la utilización de la plataforma teórico-metodológica desarrollada por Antonio Gramsci, se ofrece una explicación a la enigmática circunstancia de por qué un levantamiento que logró articular múltiples sectores populares no condujo a formas de organización política de oposición eficaz al neoliberalismo en el país andino. Con este fin se emprende la revisión de los antecedentes sobre cómo se edificaron históricamente algunas características de la ecuación Estado-sociedad civil y los cambios introducidos por el periodo de la Revolución Ciudadana, así como las reestructuraciones operadas por la ofensiva neoliberal durante la gestión morenista que ayudan a explicar las implicaciones de las últimas elecciones presidenciales.

En el presente artículo se analizan los motivos de la fractura del Frente Neodesarrollista que prevaleció en Brasil durante los gobiernos de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (2003-2010) y Dilma Rousseff (2011-2016). En un primer momento se abordan algunos ejes fundamentales del proyecto neodesarrollista, visto desde el enfoque de algunos de sus principales ideólogos. En un segundo momento se hace un balance de los actores en el plano político y económico que conformaron el Frente Neodesarrollista en una alianza táctica. Finalmente, se estudia el proceso por el cual tuvo lugar la fractura del Frente Neodesarrollista en un contexto de caída de las exportaciones, ausencia de las masas subalternas y un agudo ataque de la derecha.

Para un intelectual crítico y un militante revolucionario, el exilio forma parte de sus decisiones existenciales extremas. En dos momentos difíciles de su vida, el historiador Rodolfo Puiggrós debió proteger su libertad y la seguridad de su familia tomando distancia del territorio argentino. A principios de los años sesenta el deterioro de las condiciones políticas lo excluyeron del mundo académico y de la vida militante, y a mediados de los setenta, en condiciones aún más difíciles, la mano solidaria de México lo volvió a proteger de lo que parecía una muerte segura. En su primera estancia mexicana, Puiggrós desarrolló una fecunda labor académica y periodística. En los setenta alternó su trabajo docente con una valiosa tarea de solidaridad y denuncia en las filas del exilio argentino junto a un sólido compromiso militante en el espacio de la izquierda peronista. El ensayo que presentamos analiza los aspectos más relevantes de esos dos momentos de la vida exiliar de Puiggrós en México.

word for ‘nature.’ Th e lack of such terminology stems from the fact that the division between the human realm and the environment we live in has not been (historically or culturally) as separated as it is in the modern world. However, while there are no traditional words for ‘nature’ in Mayan languages, some of the languages use descriptive terms or neologisms that are oft en translated as ‘nature’ in dictionaries and other linguistic sources. The focus of this article is to understand the concept of nature in the Maya worldview based primarily on linguistic sources.

S. Iwaniszewski
Pages 23 and 24 of the Post-Classic Paris Codex contain figures of thirteen celestial beasts interpreted as Maya zodiacal constellations. Traditional scholarship has long attempted to identify those animals with Western zodiacal constellations. Assuming this is correct, it would mean the Maya had chosen thirteen figures or names to represent groupings of stars located on or near the ecliptic. Thus, contrary to twelve Western (Greek-Roman) zodiacal constellations, each representing about 30° of the ecliptic, the hypothetical Maya constellations would occupy 13 locations within the ecliptic band covering only 27°-28° of its circle. Implicit in this is the idea that Maya zodiacal animals constituted forms of being similar to those played by Western zodiacal ones. However, this almost automatic identification of the Paris Codex figures with the Western zodiac creates an epistemic barrier in understanding what celestial beasts could mean for the Maya. To describe them in a purely astronomical light may lead us to impose our own Western concepts upon theirs, merging different cultural concepts on one epistemic level, thus restricting the further exploration of ontologically different perspectives. This paper aims to clarify the nature of the animals pictured in the Paris Codex 23-24.

The Lacandon Maya of Chiapas (Southern Mexico) conceive animals as subjects endowed with a soul (pixan) and agency. Therefore, they are considered to be ‘persons’ (winik) whose mode of living is analogous to the humans’: they’re socially organized, they work in their milpas, they perform rituals and worship their gods. The attribution of personhood to animals becomes an ethical problem during hunt, when the Lacandon hunter kills a prey considered to be a ‘fellow man’. Consequently, the hunt needs to be ritually justified and takes the form of a contract established between the hunters, the animals and the entities who protect them – the gods, the animal masters. It will be shown how the extension of the concept of personhood to animals influences Lacandon hunting ceremonialism, and how the theories proposed by the ‘Ontological Turn’ allowed to shed light on the Northern Lacandon hunt.

The search for ontological principles specifi c for the Isthmo-Colombian region developed slowly during the last decade and started from ethnographic data and anthropological experiences which diverge in specifi c ways from the ideal-typical ontological notions of animism or analogism. Th e paper present refl ections on a set of ontological principles, which – based on the current state of analysis – allow to characterize a variety of Isthmo-Colombian socio-cosmologies in non-essentialist terms and in delineation to Amazonian animism, which became used as interpretative frame also for contemporary indigenous groups further north. Th us, rather than proposing the existence of a specifi c and rigid Isthmo-Colombian ontology I will try to summarize a number of basic principles along which local socio-cosmologies diff er from the great ontological schemes like animism and analogism. By making some ontological links between the Isthmo- Colombian area and Mesoamerica visible the paper invites to rethink local principles in ontological terms, while avoiding the imposition of theoretically attractive, but only partially fi tting ontological schemata, which may cause selective misreadings and biased interpretations of local ontological principles.

One aspect of Maya hieroglyphic writing that continues to fascinate us is its pronounced figurativeness, which finds its greatest expression in head variants of signs and in full figure glyphs. For a more systematic understanding of these personified signs, it is necessary to divide them into two groups. The first class are “essential personifi cations”. These are logograms that render names of anthropomorphic or zoomorphic beings by depicting their heads or other important parts of their bodies. The second class of personified signs are “unspecific personifications”, where there is no natural relationship between sign and meaning. These are most, syllabic signs. The animation of syllabic signs occurs especially in dedication texts. The study of the use and distribution of personified signs helps us to understand the relation between image, anima, and agency in Maya hieroglyphic writing.

The notion of person among the Maya has been studied particularly for the Classic and post-contact periods. However, we know little about the Maya person in the Postclassic period. In this paper, our initial assumption is that the Postclassic rock art found in some of the cliffs of Mensabak Lake, Chiapas, conveys elements regarding the notion and construction of the Maya person. In this sense, we analyze the rock paintings and the material culture associated with the cliffs based on the anthropology of the person. For the Classic Maya, the limits of the person were relatively permeable, something that can be observed in various scenes of Classic art, given the presence of various essences emanating from the bodies of the individuals depicted therein. Permeability, in that sense, is expressed when the person is saturated by substances whose qualities influence the internal composition of the person. Here we discuss an interpretation of a rock scene from the Postclassic period, where we observe a ritual of construction of the Maya person. In addition, we conducted underwater archaeological surveys and archaeological excavations at the foot of a particular cliff, whose collected materials suggest the presence of a repeated ritual practice, where food was prepared, copal was burned and substances were exchanged with the deities.
