Abstract

La intención de esta obra es considerar, repasando los grandes momentos de la historia de México, la evolución de las diversiones y de los gustos culturales. No se trata de establecer un catálogo ni de censar fenómenos, sino de intentar dar un sentido a las mutaciones que han ocurrido en este campo a partir de ejemplos significativos. Las modas y los gustos en los juegos y en la cultura han engendrado siempre modificaciones en las relaciones humanas en la ciudad: reuniones y exclusiones, júbilo o violencia, en pocas palabras, una atmósfera urbana particular. México puede ser un buen campo de experiencia para analizar las relaciones entre la "alta" y la "baja" cultura y las consecuencias de su asociación o de su oposición. En efecto, afectan los sistemas ideológicos, la comunicación entre los ciudadanos, las instituciones e incluso la configuración urbana. La pluralidad de los orígenes y las rupturas históricas hacen de la capital mexicana el lugar privilegiado para el análisis de esas relaciones. Louis Panabière (1935-1995) fue maestro conferenciante en la Universidad de Perpiñán, miembro del Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y, por muchos años, director de la Alianza Francesa y agregado cultural en la embajada francesa en México. En el fce Louis Panabière publicó Itinerario de una disidencia. Jorge Cuesta (1903-1942), una reveladora aportación al estudio de uno de los miembros más sobresalientes del grupo identificado como los Contemporáneos.

Abstract

"Work provides not only a thoughtful analysis of the ayuntamiento process but also an important examination of Mexico City's development during those years. Major contribution to the history of 'la capital' is also of interest for the historiography of emerging interest in democratic principles in late fin-de-siecle Mexico"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

Abstract

The contradictory traits of an identity that is in continuous growth is reflected in this subjective atlas. It is a catalogue of the likenesses and differences of Mexicans, questioning the collective values that they share, and the cultural image that they build around them.Carried out by designers Moniek Driesse and Annelys de Vet, along with Analía Solomonoff, a varied group of artists, designers, photographers and other sensitive souls living in Mexico were invited to choose personal topics as a starting point to map their cultural identity. In this context everyday practices suddenly take on new meanings. Through its pages the scope of Mexico as a country limited by its borders and its latitudes, vanishes to make senses and perspectives burst. You can find Mexico reflected in the world, and the world reflected in Mexico.

Abstract

A City Against Empire is the history of the anti-imperialist movement in 1920s Mexico City. It combines intellectual, social, and urban history to shed light on the city's role as an important global hub for anti-imperialism, exile activism, political art, and solidarity campaigns. After the Russian and the Mexican Revolution, Mexico City became a space and a symbol of global anti-imperialism. Radical politicians, artists, intellectuals, scientists, migrants, and revolutionary tourists took advantage of the urban environment to develop their visions of an anti-imperialism for the twentieth-century. These actors imagined national self-determination, international solidarity, and an emancipation from what they called "the West." Global, local, and urban factors interacted to transform Mexico City into the most important hub for radicalism in the Americas. By weaving together the intellectual history of Mexico, the urban and social histories of Mexico City, and the global history of anti-imperialist movements in the 1920s, this books analyses the perfect storm of anti-imperialism in Mexico City.

Abstract

"This report provides an assessment of Mexico City's Local Anticorruption System (LACS). Based on international best practices and the OECD Recommendation on Public Integrity, the report reviews the institutional and co-ordination arrangements of the LACS; its regulatory framework; and the tools, programmes and processes necessary for a strategic approach to public integrity. It provides concrete suggestions for enhancing the design and implementation of the system, including cultivating a culture of integrity in government, the private sector and society; improving internal control and risk management; and upgrading public procurement policies to ensure value for money. If effective, the LACS has the potential not only to improve governance, deter corruption and boost citizen's trust in Mexico City, but also to influence the integrity culture in the country as a whole"--Page 4 of cover.
