Summary: The differences between the military and civilian life has been since long ago a clash, which could qualify as "Cultural Shock" for those who lend their compulsory military service. This was increased in recent years of military service in the military culture and civil distanced especially. This thesis elaborates on this point given that the conscript soldiers did not possess an identity defined, as no were civilians while providing military service, but neither could be considered "veraderos military" which given a preliminary condition characteristics of ritios step. That dual capacity generated in many cases a real conflict for the soldiers, who were trying to overcome their problems of identity generating a series of mechanisms and formulas governing the relationship individual relationships with their peers and others, pose a particular system of roles and values that defined what could be considered as subculture cuartelera. The mili was felt and perceived in very different ways depending on the actors and the circumstances, but had a full sense and particularly for those who experienced, I had a beginning and an end, with relations between equals the most prominent feature in all, including friendship among comrades would remember most common and enduring. This thesis seeks to delve into these hot spots and analyze some of the mechanisms used by the soldiers to overcome, or at least mitigate those problems. I would also affect the nature metafórico of military service, and how that very special experience to the subject reinterpretasen referee metaphorical civil society according to their new situation. About Work emphasize the particular perspective of someone who has made the argument for his dual capacity native and researcher provides some refleciones on their status. Finally incidiriamos in perspective antropologica of research, and support data audiovisulaes giving a vision that can be described within the visual anthropology. The continuous observation and contrasted the behavior of the troops in recent years of the existence of compulsory military service, and collecting first-hand information, both verbal and graphic are some of the features of this investigation.

Summary: The work deals with the "reduction" of the Mapuche, its transformation into "indigenous Chileans" and the changes they experience in the twentieth century. The central thesis argues that the Mapuches, with the process of their reduction in the late nineteenth century, ceased to be a culture and a set of societies were transformed into ethnic and indigenous Mapuche population, (an indigenous population owner), inside the Chilean society. I submit that the process of reducing the Mapuche meant at least four major transformations in the Mapuche population:-Mapuche ceased to be a group of Mapuche societies and became part of Chilean society as Chilean indigenous population; - transforming a culture, (Mapuche culture), a subculture subordinated also proved transient, and-Adquirieron, by imposing first and socialization afterwards, a number of social identities - as well as their ethnic identity redefinida- Among these are: ) the identity of indigenous or Indian, b) the identity of Chilean c) the identity of peasant; d) the identity of the poor. - The persistent and significant ethnic identity took different forms between the Mapuche and redefined its identity as indigenous and a system, ritualizado of cultural references. This thesis - and their relevance and importance dispute undisputed existenciade a large Mapuche population ethnically differentiated manifestations of a strong ethnic identity and the political process that I call "etnificación" translate into concepcionesy policies -predominantes in Chile believe that, contrary what this theory postulates that today there is a society, a nation and a culture Mapuche. The report thesis consists of 15 chapters that are divided into three parts. Part is divided into two sections. Section A presents the problem of this study systematizing what I think would be seven thesis wrong regarding the Mapuche in Chile and some basic conceptual issues related to the thesis. Section B is designed to introduce the history and situation of the Mapuche before its decline in the late nineteenth century. Part Two refers to the twentieth century and along with presenting major historical processes of this century in Chile describes the situation of the Mapuche in two occasions: in the decade to 1960 and in the decade from 1990. The Third Party, and final, is dedicated to the presentation and analysis of the major changes that have experienced the Mapuche population between the years 1891 and 2000. This part contains the conclusions and References.

Summary: In this research attempts to understand the relationship between the processes of artistic creation and cultural contexts that inspire, motivate and determined. Artists and writers, like any person, are part of a cultural context in which certain dilemmas, questions and problems have shaken public life causándo discomfort and embarrassment. Given the naturaieza his motion, the creator directs his attention to these conflicts to try, as well as humanists and social scientists, comprenderlosy solutions.

The generation, therefore, is the variable of social differentiation proposal to analyze the continuities and discontinuities that arise in relation to the practices and speeches as a major social units methodological analysis. The main substance of this investigation have been the oral sources. The period covered by the collective memory being investigated is given for the time in which the generation that now has older. Thus, the memory, as living history, confined to the coexistence of different generations now living in the area of the city. There are two parts that make up this argument, for both, a double temporal dimension of the collective memory. First, the dimension from which diachronic intended visualize generational differences respects to the lifestyles and social practices that comprise them. Secondly, the scale synchronous related to the perception and speech generacionalmente elaborated on the current urban reality of Guadalajara. Both time perspectives are based on two premises methodological directly related to the collective memory. The first is to raise the referentiality involving several generations on other members of a landmark as common ancestors and heirs. And the second part of the symbiosis consider conceptual maintain the historical processes that transform the city itself over that period and the ability of each agency generation as historical subject to influence and change the environment in living with others.

Summary: This investigation stems from the theoretical discussion on the ways of implementation of anthropology in the field of development and involves the search for areas where it can be filed its theoretical and practical aspect through the involvement. The research problem arises when considering whether NGOs can represent viable space for such involvement anthropological. The question is: Can  NGOs represent spaces where anthropology may be involved in the thinking and practice of ethnodevelopment?. To address this research was selected a unit of analysis: indigenous NGOs in Brazil where he gave the ralción antropología- ONGs- Development, which allows reflect on the practice about theoretical issues raised in this thesis. Following a field work in Brazil with indigenous NGOs were able to recognize the potentials and limits that characterized such organizations for the achievement of ethno-development with a determinant of anthropology and anthropologists. The survey shows that NGOs constitute spaces closest to the people and their demands, freer and independent of political and economic strategic interest that government agencies and most importantly, allow the participation of anthropology and anthropologists not merely as informants or but as facilitators and executors players at all stages features of a development project: Identification, design, negotiation and execution. The NGOs represent a potential interrelationship Anthropology and Development. It is now seeking to investigate technical and methodological tools to make this collaboration a way of applying ethical and professional anthropology in mediation with ethnic and cultural minorities.

Addresses from a holistic perspective, aspects of the violence, an analysis of the regional context (lowland South America), national (national society and the Argentine State) and local (eigenvalues of society wichí). Since ethnography discusses violence at the individual level (suicide in wichí), intragroup (conflicts between nuclear families) and intergrupal (intertribal wars of the past).

Summary: Based on the extensive correspondence that Antonio Llidó had with their relatives and friends and from the interviews that we have done to 49 people who had a relationship with him, we analyze the social and political Valencian this priest during his five years of life in Chile 1969 -1974. The prospect of "History from the bottom up" allows us to examine in an original way exciting period in the history of that country, and that includes the end of the experience reformist Democrat, the thousand days of popular government of unity and the beginning of brutal dictatorship of General Pinochet. Despite the vast literature on this period, there are very few investigations that take the perspective analysis of the "history from below" or employing the tools of oral history and testimony. None of the many we know is based on the correspondence of one of the protagonists of the facts before it. Our aims are, firstly, to rescue from oblivion labor Antonio Llidó place in Chile and, through the story and analysis of their experiences of struggle and of life, involved in the exciting "Battle of the Story" being waged today in Chile, as well as claiming the ideals of democratic socialism and revolutionary for which Llidó stayed to fight in Chile in hiding and who was arrested by the dictatorship, tortured and made to disappear.

Summary: Anthropology seeks knowledge delas cultures and societies and that is why I have worked in this thesis on the formalities of visual knowledge and its modes of interrogation visual identity. To make this argument, I have focused on developing an analysis antropológico-visual on the various representations edentitarias bahianas (Salvador de Bahia-Brazil). Through four eyes and my own eyes as a participant observer of this act evolutionary hipervisual is photographing, I have wounded to the conclusion that the notion of identity Bahia is a visual representation plimórfica temporarily defined parameters and framed by gender, distance to the object of study, and visual thinking enculturizado binding. The bahianidad as central axis of a nationality hipervisual argued by anthropologists and ethnographers and seen by photographers. According to informants visuals (mainly Cravo Neto, Reis, Sentís and Simóes) has been constratar that the construction of Bahia visual identity is structured based on two axes of visual representation. In this way, one can articulate a first axis bahianográfico (TIER) focused on the importance of the archetypal image of the imaginary visual afromasculino and other axis foto-visual (TIER B) where the main idea is to articulate under the archetypal female. A first axis response wings representations masculinizantes dela reality of Bahia. It is a shaft in hegemonic representations identity bahianas, hiperpatrimonializado by local authorities and the mass media. Mario Cravo Neto, who left in the wake Pierre Verger, is the reporter visual sontemporáneo that best exemplifies this noció visual identity. The second axis respond to the representations identitárias female. In these representations find a sense of identity fragmented explained that depending on the one hand, the popular stereotype of women negra-mulata (identity glass), and second in the introspection of a feminized visuality represented from the feminine, everyday life and private sectors with lower social and cultural impact (identity mirror).

Summary: This argument reflects a trend in the study of groups romá (Gypsies) Italian and Bosnians. This is a thesis subject you antropologica. The field work carried out in Italy and in Bosnia started in the year 2000 under the Project Opre Rome coordinated from the University Jaume I. The ethnographic research was conducted in a small village in the Bosnian Federation. The method adopted is that of participant observation. The subject of the investigation deals with the interdiction of the dead to speak to the concerns of the community rom xoraxané of whom went húesped. The hypothesis suggested interpretation develops the theme of the ban around the analysis of the evocation of the dead, as a condition-by-word "flame" by not live to internior the relationship between births. The evocation of the dead, if we interpret the meaning of the provision that gives the community itself reference should be regulated by the rules of prohibition to protect the presence of non-living, which is precisely by evoking could "return "to do harm. With the status of silence that the ban sets, takes shape respect for the dead. The topics addressed in the development of the work are: 1) An analysis of the structure of the evocation; 2) An analysis on the representation that built living space occupied by the dead. The reference will be made to both a physical space as a space relational; 3) An analysis of the word, that is, certain expressions and terms that servocroata and romané evoke the presence of the dead. The findings proposals draw attention to the relationship between memory and forgetting that happens at the evocation of the dead-a relationship which is contextualiza in the relationship between romá and gagé. As we have seen, interdiction prohibits evocation (the words and memories), and simultaneously, prescribes, pausing between the living presence of the dead (kept in his mind).

The conclusions that suggest that the invisibility of a significant part of the cultural processes by actors educational relates positively with the timid educational achievements of this school system.
