The objective of this article is to analyze the influence of gender in the phase of the streetization process that corresponds to when boys, girls and adolescents work on the streets and / or when they accompany others to work. The research methodology is based on a case study of street workers and those who accompany them in this task in the Metropolitan Area of Oaxaca. The methodological strategy was carried out in three stages. In the first, the general characteristics of street child labor were outlined through simple observation, in-depth semi-structured interviews, and statistical data. The second, corresponded to the exhaustive review of literature from which problematic axes were recovered that served to design two group interviews and two graphic-photographic exercises that were applied in a third stage. The results of the research reveal two categories of analysis: the facade of the child worker-provider-protector and the expanded agency of the girl worker-provider-protector-caregiver, through which it is explained how the gender differences between boys and girls become inequalities that transcend the adult stage, likewise, how these differentiations take place within the existing relationships between the street and the interior of the homes.  

Reproductive responsibilities in people›s lives often shape their life trajectories. These responsibilities are also present in migrant individuals and families, having an important weight at the time of making the decision to migrate, and during the migratory trajectory. In this context, the article analyzes the coincidences and divergences in the trajectories of a group of men and women between 19 and 36 years old, young Venezuelan migrants with children, based on interviews conducted with them in the regions of Tumbes, Tacna and Lima during the first months of 2020. In particular, emphasis will be placed on the considerations they had when making the decision to migrate, as well as the challenges and difficulties that arise during the migratory route, both in cases where the decision was to separate from their children, as well as if it was to travel accompanied by them.

This text seeks to show how the narratives of the hegemonic media of the global North, specifically the United States, migrate and are reproduced in our country and how these Orientalist-Islamophobic narratives affect Arabs and Muslims in Mexico. The discussion will focus especially on the perception of Muslim women in Mexico and how the “obsession with the veil” makes them a flank of prejudice. The text will also show that, despite this uncritical reproduction of stereotypes, there is a genuine interest of some Mexicans in Arab-Islamic culture. The text aims to invite reflection on the meaning of mestizaje and Mexicanity, since it seems that belonging to Christianity is still an important element of our national identity.

The gender approach enable inquiring about the power relationships that structure the differences among the roles culturally assigned to men and women, which have repercussions on the experience of international migratory return and reinsertion to the country of origin at the level of the family group. The purpose of this paper is to review the analytical contribution of gender studies in the research on family life in return migration, anchored to the field of international migration studies. Base on the review of its theoretical-conceptual proposal and several empirical researches, highlighted the aspects of the family dynamic that are reconfig.

In Yucatán, humor has developed alongside stereotypes and racist cultural elements, derived from the relationship between regional theater and indigenous Mayan culture. This has led to the reproduction of discriminatory values within yucatecan society. All comedians immer- sed in the field of regional yucatecan comedy resort to cultural elements of stereotypes and racism. This work aims to address the issue of racism as a fundamental resource in yucatecan regional comedy. To do this, the case of the mestiza character is taken as a stereotyped product. Racism has subtly become an important part of yucatecan humor, which is why comedians resort to these types of jokes so easily.  

The utopías (Units of Transformation and Organization for Social Inclusion and Harmony) in Iztapalapa, Mexico City, represent a cutting-edge approach in terms of urban planning, but not just in terms of infrastructure design and facilities to develop recreational, cultural and social activities that facilitate the appropriation and transit of a densely populated area and crossed by structural problems of insecurity and violence. The bet of these spaces is in a palpable way to incorporate the neighbors to entertainment and humanistic activities that can be carried out in facilities that help this incorporation, but the project also surreptitiously represents a sociological and communicative dynamic that can foster symbolic forms of inhabiting, sharing, coexisting and appropriating public spaces, a way of making and thinking about the community in a lasting way and not only limited to the use of the facilities but also to consolidate the roots of attachment and belonging to a place and an idea of society.

This article reflects on the main findings from the research carried to obtain a Master’s thesis in Social Sciences (flacso-Mexico). The migratory transit of women through Mexico is studied based on 12 semi-structured interviews with Central American women applied during August and September of 2021 in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, and the theoretical analysis coming from the categories of resistance and care. The text compiles the study of women’s resistance to the systematic violence they face during migration using the analytical key of care, and placing the experiences and testimonies of the protagonists of this phenomenon at the center of the academic inquiry.
