Based on fieldwork with the Aweti, a Tupi xinguano group, the analysis of this logic enables a description of the xinguano sociocultural unity and of the groups that constitute it not only as historical products —something that has already been shown by the region’s ethnology— but also as continuously historical products, always to be recreated. The article’s key argument is that sorcery is the dark side, the unwanted effect of the process of becoming kin, a process central to the constitution of xinguano identity. Thus, sorcery would be what makes the xinguano people never seem perfectly xinguanos/humans to themselves.","PeriodicalId":30160,"journal":{"name":"Runa","volume":"34 1","pages":"215-232"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69794080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sample includes children between 6 and 13 years of age (1995: 32; 2004: 42). The recorded variables were Age (A), Weight (W) and Height (H). Weight-for- age (W//A), Height-for-age (H//A) (WHO reference 2007, -2 SD) and body mass index (BMI) (The International Obesity Task Force, with the values set out therein), were estimated. Epi-Info 6.0 software was used for statistical evaluation (χ 2 p ≤ 0.05%). We observed a drop in underweight to the present (from 11.54% to 3.45%). Likewise, stunting and overweight decreased (the former, from 6.25% to 0%, and the latter from 6.25% to 4.76%). Differences were not statistically significant. Obesity prevalence was zero. Overall, new strategies for survival due to the deterioration of traditional patterns of subsistence, have not adversely affected the growth of children","PeriodicalId":30160,"journal":{"name":"Runa","volume":"34 1","pages":"233-244"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69794125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To what extent is the practice of watching television socially delegitimized and thus, not always referred to in the everyday practices and significant gestures considered part of a culture? In a context of diversity and multiculturalism, what concept(s) of culture is (are) serving as the basis for anthropological discussion of the meanings of mass communication —its production, processes, messages and re-elaborations?

By analyzing the formative experiences of members of the high class, two concerns are put forward. First, in the context of the reconfiguration of the relationship between families and schools, I sketch how high classes build meanings and practices about school and schooling. Second, within educational inequalities processes, I analyze high classes’ school selection practices. This paper is an attempt to describe how high classes participate in struggles with other class fractions within the educational space. In doing so, they profit from “family’s close protections” that schools help to reinforce.","PeriodicalId":30160,"journal":{"name":"Runa","volume":"34 1","pages":"73-90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69793425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The names of these children, as a touchstone, will enable us to recognize the different and occasionally contradictory definitions of Mapuche identity, promoted by various social actors in the province of Neuquen.
