“…De una forma general, la apuesta de este artículo se asienta en el campo de la etnografía política, la cual vincula agente y estructura, un dilema clásico de la sociología (Alexander y otros, 1994), bajo el prisma del análisis de la experiencia, vida cotidiana y tramas sociales (Joseph, Mahler y Auyero, 2007). En este panorama, responderemos en la siguiente sección las preguntas ¿cómo y en qué condiciones los actores sociales se convierten en ciudadanos?…”

En este ensayo, se propone responder las preguntas: .como y en que condiciones los actores sociales se convierten en ciudadanos? y .como funciona el principio de ciudadania entre distintos colectivos?.A traves de una metodologia cualitativa y etnografica centrada en los relatos de sesenta dirigentes vecinales en una comuna de Chile, se propone una lectura de 1) la ciudadania como una serie de vinculos entre la sociedad y el Estado en que se intitulan cotidianamente sentidos en torno a la inclusion y exclusion social, los cuales son puestos en juego en contactos cara a cara a traves de recursos, habilidades y capacidades diferencialmente distribuidos; y 2) los vinculos sociopoliticos mas alla de la distincion absoluta entre actores clientelares y contestatarios para analizar sus similitudes y diferencias.

In spite of the growing visibility of international summits in the last decade, little is known about how these events actually unfold. Neither the role played by the media in these highly scrutinized gatherings, nor the organizational setting in which news is produced, have been extensively described. Focusing on one such summit, this article shows what a close-up view of the otherwise-invisible Media Center can offer to sociological analysis.Year after year, these spaces have increasingly been colonized by certain NGOs attempting to influence the proceedings of these summits. This article highlights some overlooked factors that make some groups better able than others to promote their perspective, and lays bare a mechanism I call mediated pressure, by which journalists try to influence negotiators through the dissemination of their claims in the news.

From horrific accounts of men decapitated to “ordinary” accounts of stolen motorcycles, the routine beating and killing of alleged criminals by mobs (massa) has become common in Indonesia. This article examines the patterns ofkeroyokan—mobbing—from 1995 through 2004 in four provinces and highlights the temporal, spatial, and substantive variations of this phenomenon. Drawing from a database of provincial and local news clippings in Bali, Bengkulu, West Java, and South Kalimantan and in-depth case studies and interviews, this article shows that mobbing varies considerably. Its causes are nationalandlocal. The temporal data show that nationally the most important factor to influence levels of mobbing was the introduction of decentralization. The power vacuum that resulted from the policy decision to transfer authority from the center to localities increased local violence. Yet this macrolevel explanation is inadequate to show the spatial variation and different forms of mobbing violence. To understand the causes of these dimensions of variation, one has to move away from macronational approaches measuring violence and include a more microethnographic local approach. A richer understanding of mobbing must be locally rooted. This article uses three case studies to illustrate the centrality of local factors affecting this form of violence. The case studies suggest that mobbing is shaped by the acquiescence of actors in local communities and local learning. The article draws attention to the need to incorporate local data and methods into an analysis of violence in Indonesia and to appreciate varied daily rituals of violence as reservoirs of conflict.
