Abstract

The objective is to show what are the theological foundations of culture composed of according to Rembao and how his theoretical development shifts toward junctions of accumulation of ideas that intensify the conceptualization processes of his thought. Following this thread, we first 1) explain how Rembao configures his Theology of culture on the foundations of a pneumatic energetics, different from the energetics of the psyche (psychologism), so that it places culture (cult of the spirit) in a dialectical relationship with psivilization (idolatrous confusion of pneuma and psyche). Then, 2) we move toward a hermeneutics that Rembao configures around the symbols of Hispanicity and Mexicanness, secular forms of the dialectical triangulation of culture that refer to past religious significations. Our reading proposes that the spirit (pneuma) occupies a pivotal place in Rembao's search for a turning point that dialectically connects the juxtaposition of culture and civilization. 3) We conclude, based on Ricoeur's hermeneutic approach, that, from this dynamic point, Rembao links his thought (energetics and hermeneutics of the symbol), to support his conception of Protestant culture in the Latin American sense on one hand and in a dialogue with the Protestant principle of Paul Tillich on the other.

This article aims to document the historical background of cooperativism in Ciudad Juárez through the identification and characterization of existing cooperative societies between 1970 and 2010. The research was conducted using a documentary methodological approach, which included the review of bibliographic and hemerographic sources, as well as the consultation of local and national public archives. The text is organized into two sections. The first describes the main cooperative initiatives identified from the late 1960s through subsequent decades up to 2010. The second section provides a more detailed account of the experience of the Sociedad Cooperativa de Seleccionadores de Materiales, which is presented as a paradigmatic case of cooperativism in Ciudad Juárez.
