Description
Summary:Tliis article presents an approach to the world of die drivers of the public transportation, called popuhirly cliafiretes. I analyze their conditions of work in relation to significant emotional processes, guided by recuperating empirically tlie configuration of stj´les of urban life in the periphery of Mexico City. Deliberately I emphasize the positive moments of driving, aiming to build a non-stigmatized image in contrast to the superficial everyday image of tliis group. Tliis requires that die antlu- opologist construct alterity by fusing cultural horizons, hence paying attention to and "translating" what the drivers diink, feel and imagine about dteir occupation, dieir way of life.
