This paper aims to analyze the diplomatic work of Antonio Carrillo Flores, Mexico's ambassador to the United States, between 1958 and 1964. Using Carrillo's personal archive, I show that his experience in the Mexican economic bureaucracy was fundamental in strengthening the commercial and financial relationship with that country. I also show that, with pragmatism, he used the Cold War logic to promote a Latin American economic agenda and look for alternatives to reduce dependence on the United States. I divide the work into two parts that correspond to the Republican administration of Eisenhower (1958-1960) and the Democratic administration of Kennedy (1961-1964), ending with the appointment of Carrillo as the Mexican Secretary of Foreign Affairs.

This paper comparatively addresses the emergence of three Latin-American Catholic sanctuaries: Virgen de Copacabana and Señor de los Milagros de Lima, both of colonial origin (Peruvian Viceroyalty), and Virgen del Rosario of San Nicolás (Argentina, since 1983). Using an anthropological perspective, through archive research with an ethnographic approach, the primary actions and motivations that helped consolidate these sanctuaries are analyzed. Who were the material and symbolic producers of these Catholic images and in which circumstances did they act? How did they become places of devotion? Which was the role of the miracles in cult consolidation? I will examine the possibility of recognizing regularities and common logics in these processes, analyzing to what extent they express either contextual factors or Catholic sanctuaries typical dynamics.
