| Summary: | In this methodological article the author argues, on the basis of her
experience in studying systematically sugar can agriculture in some
areas of Mexico -Veracruz, Colima, Michoacan and Jalisco- that she
arrived at the conclusion that this activity, along with production, cultural
work, pay and asymmetric social relations, constituted the central
axis of one more subculture in the Mexican countryside.
It considers a subculture defined by production complexes where the
type of cultivation, credit and the social relations of production constitute
a form of social production and reproduction. The article understands
that culture is in the minds of individuals, and individual minds
are in culture, such that the actors and/or social subjects become transformed
into units of analysis - elementary for understanding, analyzing,
explicating, interpreting and understanding - for the study of sugar cane
culture in particular. |
