Culture and nature in the rarámuri communities

Eduardo Ismael Reyes Vasquez — 2025-02-04

The purpose of this article is to show some evidence on how the knowledge of native communities, in the case of the rarámuri, has been marginalized by hegemonic forms of knowledge. In this way, some examples of how their understanding and vision of nature can contribute to the construction of a pluriversal knowledge to establish links towards a dialogue that subsumes the forms of domination within the framework of the epistemologies of the South. The analysis of the concepts of culture and nature, seen from the perspective of the rarámuri communities, will serve as a basis to show the potential of including the subaltern for the benefit of humanity towards an intercultural translation.

Humor and violence in literature from Ciudad Juárez. Humor of bones and sand

Ricardo Vigueras Fernández — 2025-04-10

In this article we analyze the different types of humor in Juárez literature and how it has sometimes been a relevant element to show the different types of violence that Ciudad Juárez suffers. Far from minimizing the social conflicts that turn the border into a mythical territory to locate all kinds of stories, here we will comment on some works where violence is contemplated with irony and sarcasm, generally to underline the resilience of the citizens of Juárez as well as the disaffection or contempt for them that this city suffers from the rulers. To do this, we will take the poetry and narrative of authors such as Arminé Arjona, Miguel Ángel Chávez or Willivaldo Delgadillo, as examples of those who, through laughter, have created a contemporary portrait of this city.
