Trends in intimate partner, school, and work violence against women in Chihuahua, 2003-2021

Rogelio Rodriguez Nemesio Castillo (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

This article presents a description and analysis of the trends of violence against women in Chihuahua between 2003 and 2021, employing data from the National Survey of the Dynamics of Household Relationships (Endireh by its acronym in Spanish) for the years 2003, 2006, 2011, 2016 and 2021. The areas chosen for this analysis were intimate partner, school, and workplace. Certain increases and reductions of the problem were observed over time in these areas. Based on the results, recommendations are made for future studies on the topic and public policies to address violence against women.

Women, economic resilience, gender norms in a time of climate change: what do we know?

Cathy Farnworth Anne Rietveld Rachel Voss Angela Meentzen (2023, [Artículo])

This literature delves into 82 research articles, published between 2016 and 2022, to develop a deep understanding of how women manage their lives and livelihoods within their agrifood systems when these systems are being affected, sometimes devastatingly, by climate change. The Findings show that four core gender norms affect the ability of women to achieve economic resilience in the face of climate change operate in agrifood production systems. Each of these gender norms speaks to male privilege: (i) Men are primary decision-makers, (ii) Men are breadwinners, (iii) Men control assets, and (iv) Men are food system actors. These gender norms are widely held and challenge women’s abilities to become economically resilient. These norms are made more powerful still because they fuse with each other and act on multiple levels, and they serve to support other norms which limit women’s scope to act. It is particularly noteworthy that many institutional actors, ranging from community decision-makers to development partners, tend to reinforce rather than challenge gender norms because they do not critically review their own assumptions.

However, the four gender norms cited are not hegemonic. First, there is limited and intriguing evidence that intersectional identities can influence women’s resilience in significant ways. Second, gender norms governing women’s roles and power in agrifood systems are changing in response to climate change and other forces, with implications for how women respond to future climate shocks. Third, paying attention to local realities is important – behaviours do not necessarily substantiate local norms. Fourth, women experience strong support from other women in savings groups, religious organisations, reciprocal labour, and others. Fifth, critical moments, such as climate disasters, offer potentially pivotal moments of change which could permit women unusually high levels of agency to overcome restrictive gender norms without being negatively sanctioned. The article concludes with recommendations for further research.

Necessity as a driver in bending agricultural gender norms in the Eastern Gangetic Plains of South Asia

Pragya Timsina Emma Karki Brendan Brown (2023, [Artículo])

The majority of the farmers in the rural Global South continue to depend directly or indirectly on agriculture for their livelihoods. Despite the fact that women account for almost half of the world's farmers, they face gender-specific challenges such as deeply rooted cultural and social norms that limit their access to land, assets, financial markets, agricultural training, and information. Using semi-structured interviews with farmers in the Eastern Gangetic Plains, this study investigates how necessity is becoming one of the major drivers in the bending of agricultural gender norms. The study investigates the connections between feminist political ecology and agricultural technology production frameworks in order to comprehend the implications of technology adoption and influences on gender norms in communities. Women's participation in agriculture was found to be heavily influenced by social and cultural barriers, and they were frequently subjected to social criticism for breaking the systemic gender norms. This paper emphasizes on the growing pattern of bending gender norms with recommendations for increasing women's participation and scope in future agriculture development initiatives through policies and interventions that emphasize gender equity.

El duraznillo (Tapirira mexicana): una especie comestible poco conocida

Leonardo Díaz Sánchez CESAR ISIDRO CARVAJAL HERNANDEZ ELIA NORA AQUINO BOLAÑOS MARIA DEL SOCORRO HERRERA MEZA (2023, [Artículo])

Tapirira mexicana es un árbol de la familia Anacardiaceae (familia del mango), que se conoce como “duraznillo” o “huichini” (entre otros nombres comunes). En algunos lugares de México se consume la semilla como alimento secundario. Las semillas contienen ácidos grasos poliinsaturados y monoinsaturados cuyo potencial alimenticio y efectos en el organismo humano se desconocen. Resaltamos la importancia de Tapirira mexicana, en particular el consumo de sus semillas, una especie comestible que es poco valorada y reconocida en México.

Andamios interiores: génesis del estridentismo

La mayoría de vanguardias entabló la renovación como idea primigenia que rechazaba el pasado y buscaba fundar la idea del presente y del futuro. Dicha idea estaba permeada por el mundo moderno que se configuró a principios del siglo XX. Aquella idea de renovación se diseñó dentro de la retórica y del discurso vanguardista. El estridentismo no fue la excepción. Aun, el estridentismo utilizó la performatividad para enfatizar la idea de la renovación. Es ahí cuando, dentro de esa performatividad, Manuel Maples Arce y los otros miembros del estridentismo acuñaron un lenguaje grandilocuente semejante a la retórica bíblica. Dicho acto tuvo como propósito el escándalo para la posterior incorporación del estridentismo dentro del campo literario. Esta estrategia no sólo quedó en el acto performativo, sino también podemos encontrarlo dentro de algunas obras literarias. Tal es el caso de Andamios Interiores, primer poemario del estridentismo compuesto por Manuel Maples Arce. De esta manera, existe un paralelismo entre el poemario de Maples Arce y el mito bíblico del génesis. De este modo, el yo lírico del texto se erige como un Adán moderno, un hombre que hereda el nuevo mundo, es decir, el Edén mecánico de la ciudad, lugar idóneo del estridentismo. Asimismo, aparece la mujer moderna como coheredera de la sociedad fabril. Ambos cumplen ciertos roles que analizaremos en el presente trabajo.

Sustainability evaluation of contrasting milpa systems in the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico

Santiago Lopez-Ridaura Tania Carolina Camacho Villa (2023, [Artículo])

The milpa agroecosystem is an intercropping of maize, beans, squash and other crops, developed in Mesoamerica, and its adoption is widely variable across climates and regions. An example of particular interest is the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, which holds highly diverse milpas, drawing on ancestral Mayan knowledge. Traditional milpas have been described as sustainable resource management models, based on long rotations within a slash-and-burn cycle in forest areas. Nevertheless, due to modernization and intensification processes, new variants of the approach have appeared. The objective of this study was to evaluate the sustainability of three milpa systems (traditional, continuous, and mechanized) in four case studies across the Peninsula, with emphasis on food self-sufficiency, social inclusion and adoption of innovations promoted by a development project. The Framework for the Evaluation of Agroecosystems using Indicators (MESMIS, for its Spanish acronym) was used for its flexible, participatory approach. A common group of indicators was developed despite regional differences between study cases, with a high level of farmer participation throughout the iterative process. The results show lower crop yields in traditional systems, but with lower inputs costs and pesticide use. In contrast, continuous milpas had higher value in terms of crop diversity, food security, social inclusion, and innovation adoption. Mechanized milpas had lower weed control costs. Profitability of cash crops and the proportion of forest were high in all systems. Highly adopted innovations across milpa types and study cases included spatial crop arrangement and the use of residues as mulches. However, most innovations are not adapted to local conditions, and do not address climate change. Further, women and youth participation is low, especially in traditional systems.

José Revueltas, entre la realidad y la ficción: una lectura historiográfica de Los muros de agua

MELISSA MARCELA MARTINEZ LEMUS (2010, [Tesis de maestría])

157 páginas. Maestría en Historiografía.

En este trabajo se plantea un acercamiento historiográfico con una obra de ficción: Los muros de agua, de José Revueltas, para analizar la medida en que ésta puede ser susceptible a un análisis que recupere y dé cuenta de la historicidad inscrita en el entramado literario. Son varios los elementos que contribuyen a este fin, particularmente, el carácter testimonial de la obra que nos ocupa, así como el ser la primera novela publicada por el autor, convirtiéndola en su primer experimento literario formal. Se trata de acercarnos al autor, pero más que nada al contexto que éste vivió usando como principal objeto de estudio su obra, dejando al margen, — aunque no por ello ignorados— lo que otros autores dicen de él, pues “(Ése es) el problema de los escritores que están sobre todo en sus libros y ahí hay que ir a buscarlos antes que a ninguna otra parte”. El trabajo es un análisis interpretativo que se basa en la visión de Gadamer, sobre el círculo hermenéutico, así como en la visión de Geertz sobre la descripción densa, desde una perspectiva historiográfica donde, a partir del análisis de una novela, se demuestren las posibilidades del relato de ficción para un estudio historiográfico.
