Encontrando mi enfermedad. Producción de las relaciones sociales en el grupo de autoayuda Nuevo Atardecer de cuarto y quinto paso

Abstract

The objective of this article is to understand the production process of the social world undergone by members of the New Sunset group in San Cristobal de Las Casas, Chiapas. Drawing from anthropology of power, an ethnographic radiography was drawn to learn more about how these types of mutual aid groups operate and how history shows a dynamic of ruptures in their formation. An attempt will be made to show the multiple conflicts, tensions and negotiations that take place within it to account for a social space that is not systematic, nor does it have a common vision or interests. In addition, it is intended to make visible various phenomena that are constructed during the production process, for example, the invention of a disease.
