LGBT+ media on the Internet: experiences of communication and information in Mexico

RAUL ANTHONY OLMEDO NERI (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

Two digital LGBT+ media in Mexico are analyzed to understand the implications of their operation and their articulation with the informational and social needs of sex-gender populations. It starts from the communicational perspective to conceptualize these projects as exercises in technological appropriation but highlighting their empirical intersections with other analytical frameworks. Through the method of systematizing the experience, the trajectories of ANODIS and Seis Franjas Mx have been recovered; through semi-structured interviews conducted with their co-founders in February 2022, the reasons, horizons and challenges that these projects have faced are analyzed. The results show that the lack of LGBT+ content and representations in the media motivate the creation of these projects, which articulate a sense of collaboration and sociality with other users belonging to sex-gender communities. In addition, the people participating in these projects are part of the LGBT+ populations, becoming them producers and consumers of information that claim the gender-identity dimension in the content. Likewise, these initiatives are specified in the youth stage of their co-founders, which refers to rethinking the role of LGBT+ youth in the new forms of activism and socialization mediated by Internet. Finally, given the progressive formation of this area of ​​knowledge and the lack of consensus on its definition, it is proposed to name this interdisciplinary field of study as LGBT+ Communicational Studies, to show an epistemological perspective from communication and a Latin American ontological position.

Regional analysis of the wage discrimination in the indigenous workers in Mexico

Christian De la Luz-Tovar SIBYL ITALIA PINEDA SALAZAR (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

The objective of this research is to estimate and decompose the wage gap between indigenous and non-indigenous workers by region in Mexico, to examine whether there are regional differences in the existing wage inequality that a priori affects the indigenous population and whether these differences can be attributed to the job profile of this group or by systematic labor discrimination against them. Using the data from the 2018 National Household Expenditure Revenue Survey (ENIGH-N) and the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition, it was found that indigenous workers face a wage gap in all regions of the county. But, this gap is more pronounced in the center and south regions, where, on average, the associated component with labor discrimination has a percentage greater than 56. In contrast, in the north-central and northern regions of Mexico, the residual component is on average less than 33%, which suggests that the wage gap is explained by differences in productivity between groups.

Percepción sobre espacios incluyentes en universitarios del oriente de Morelos

KAREN RAMIREZ GONZALEZ (2024, [Artículo])

El trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar la percepción que tiene la comunidad estudiantil del oriente de Morelos con respecto a la habilitación de un baño incluyente, como parte de una política institucional de corte progresista. Mediante un diseño metodológico cuantitativo, se aplicaron 131 encuestas conformadas por cuestionarios estructurados de tipo mixto. En el análisis se estudian los efectos de la socialización de dos agencias: la familia y la educación escolar. El estudio concluye que la educación familiar y escolar y el contacto con grupos de pares vinculados a la comunidad OSIG LGBTQ+ incidieron en la disminución de estereotipos y roles de género e incrementaron la valoración positiva de las estrategias implementadas por las autoridades universitarias para la habilitación del baño incluyente.

The analysis studies the effects of the socialization of two agencies: the family and the school education. The study concludes that family and school education and contact with peer groups linked to the lgbtq+ community, had an impact on the reduction of stereotypes and gender roles and in-creased the positive assessment of the strategies implemented by the university authorities for the empowerment of the inclusive bathroom.

SOCIEDAD Y ECONOMÍA EN EL PRESIDIO DE EL PETÉN: UN ASENTAMIENTO DE FRONTERA, 1790-1821

ROSALBA PEREZ DZIB (2023, [Tesis de doctorado])

“El presente estudio se centra en la sociedad que se formó en el asentamiento administrativo, militar y religioso levantado sobre lo que fue la capital de los itzaes al finalizar el periodo colonial. El presidio del Petén se erigió de forma simbólica, como ocurrió en otras capitales mesoamericanas, para evidenciar el predominio del control hispano sobre la población, mismo que, en teoría, debería de convertirse en el centro del que irradiaría la expansión, colonización y sometimiento de la región. Sin embargo, como lo han demostrado los diferentes estudios que existen sobre El Petén, fue una conquista inconclusa. En el Petén no hubo tratados firmados con los Itzaes, pero tampoco un combate efectivo, pues aunque ocuparon su capital Tayasal, en la práctica no lograron someterlos. A esto se agregó su circunstancia particular, que fue una indefinición jurisdiccional en su administración, lo que, como se explicará en el trabajo, limitó su desarrollo dentro del sistema español, a pesar de los esfuerzos por los pobladores del asentamiento militar que se erigió en la antigua capital Itzá".
