Labor movement studies have, for long, been focusing separately on class and gender, since they understood that these categories were incompatible, focusing on unilateral causalities. The aim of this article is to offer a different perspective, including the gender and class analysis in social history in a joint and non-exclusionary method. To accomplish this task I discuss the approaches of feminism, gender studies and social history. By analyzing these theories I propose categories that are able to grasp this interlacement of social relations. Thus, I propose the fundamental concept of generalized class and I demonstrate the importance of a complex analysis. Social studies, especially those of the working class must include in their focus the specific oppression of working women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article discusses eschatology of the body and the use of excrement in the novels of Miguel Méndez. In the novel "Peregrinos de Aztlán," Méndez relates the marginalisation and suffering that chicanos, Mexican Americans, and Mexicans had to deal with and then contrasts it with the life of the average middle-class American. It is evident that the author is using the image of excrement and sexual dysfunction as a way to characterize the higher classes of society. An example of the sexual dysfunction present in the novel is the example of Mr. Foxye who is described as having undergone a vasectomy.

In analysing social class from a discursive and emotional perspective, attention ought to be given to a particular aspect of the argumentative co-ordination of class interaction. We refer to the notion of 'the best argument', a concept originating in Habermas's classic Theory of Communicative Action. We argue that this concept needs to be reformulated before it can be applied to the analysis of class and, especially, to the relations of domination that are involved. This reformulation requires a critique of Habermas' theory. We focus on his social action typology in general and, in partcular, his concept of communicative action. We propose that the concepts of 'the best argument' and communicative action (which we reformulate as the argumentative dimension of interaction) should not require symmetry between participants in an interaction. We suggest that these concepts should apply both to situations of symmetry and assymetry. This allows us to better understand some of the mechanisms that sustain the process of social legitimisation in unequal conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El artículo explora la complejidad de las relaciones entre las diferentes ideas sobre la sexualidad en la cultura mexicana actual, y sus efectos sobre la experiencia subjetiva de un grupo de hombre y mujeres. Las ideas presentadas se derivan de la investigaciόn de la autora sobre los significados de la virginidad y la iniciaciόn sexual para jόvenes de diferentes contextos sociales de México. La investigaciόn tuvo como objetivo documentar el cambio social en el que los conceptos sobre sexualidad de la iglesia catόlica coexisten ahora con conceptos modernos de subjetividad y sexualidad dados a conocer a través de los medios de comunicaciόn, el sistema educativo y las capañas gubernamentales de salud pública.
