          Abstract

          Resumen El presente ensayo analiza las fiestas religiosas en las que participan los migrantes (nacionales e internacionales), los nativos, las mayordomías, los sistemas de cargo, entre otros, como un campo de poder, dentro del cual existen conflictos políticos, culturales, sociales, económicos y entre los diversos agentes sociales que se enfrentan con distintos medios y con fines diferenciados, ya sea para conservar o transformar su estructura, dominar el campo, obtener “ganancias” (capital simbólico, político y social), negociar su pertenencia local a la comunidad de origen, etcétera. Para dar cuenta de ello, se retoma el marco teórico de la migración trasnacional, la perspectiva contemporánea de la antropología política y algunos elementos de la teoría de la acción de Pierre Bourdieu. Por otra parte, se plantea una segunda lectura interpretativa sobre las fiestas religiosas a partir del procesualismo simbólico y de la antropología de la religión.

          Abstract The aim of this work is to analyze the religious festivities where immigrants (national and international), natives, religious cargo systems, among others, participate as a field of power in which there is political, social, and economical conflict among the diverse social agents. Immigrants and other social actors have fights or struggles every holy day to transform their structure, to dominate the field, to get profits (symbolic, political and social capital) and to negotiate their local membership within their original community. In order to explain it, this work utilizes the transnational migration theory, the current political anthropological approach as well as the theory of practice of Pierre Bourdieu. Furthermore, it proposes a second interpretation in regards to religious holidays by employing symbolic processualism and anthropology of religion.

            Immigration theory for a new century: some problems and opportunities.

            S A Portes (1997)
            "This essay examines some of the pitfalls in contemporary immigration theory and reviews some of the most promising developments in research in this field. As a data-driven field [of] study, immigration has not had to contend with grand generalizations for highly abstract theorizing. On the contrary, the bias has run in the opposite direction, that is toward ground-level studies of particular migrant groups or analysis of official migration policies. As the distillate of past research in the field and a source of guidance for future work, theory represents one of the most valuable products of our collective intellectual endeavor. Ways to foster it and problems presented by certain common misunderstandings about the meaning and scope of scientific theorizing are discussed." The geographical focus is on the United States.
