The collection of wax cylinders engraved with a graphophone by the Norwegian Carl Lumholtz in 1898 in a Huichol (or Wixárika) community is studied here based on the following: the intellectual context of the time that stimulated the recording of Native American oral materials, the conditions in which his fourth expedition to the Mexican Sierra Madre Occidental took place; and, the local conditions in which these recordings were made in the head community of Santa Catarina Cuexcomatitlán. For this, we have systematized and collated new documentary sources, and with the collaboration of translators and ritual specialists, we have selected, transcribed and translated extracts of the 31 cylinders, the contents and formal aspects of which have allowed preliminary guidelines to be drawn up reflecting on changes and continuities in the Wixárika ritual tradition.

This article focuses on the use of the wixárika image by young graffiti artists and contemporary muralists in the city of Guadalajara. Based on interviews with urban artists from Guadalajara, the integration of the subject of multiculturalism in their works is analyzed. The way in which they link art and politics in order to generate debate between citizens is presented here. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this work is to contribute on the debate about the respect of indigenous rights. Based on a case study, it offers some reflections about certain concepts concerning gender and kinship relations, and their implications on the respect of the local customs. It stresses the important role played by the ethnographic work: If it is applied from a procedural analytical perspective, it may contribute to a deeper study of controversial topics, such as the defense of the indigenous women rights in domestic spaces. Therefore the position takes into account the point of view of those who are excluded, and also assumes a non-static vision about indigenous values and culture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
