Viaje in Family:
Oral history and Cultural Genealogies (1)

by: Nora E. Perez Orduña

Following the FOCYP tracks

They were the three of afternoon when I left the house of Cintia.(2) That Sunday compare levitra viagra street was empty and the summer sun seemed to me scandalous. From the 10 in the morning, Cintia compare levitra viagra abierto the doors to me of its house and its life; the last interview of the investigation had been complete in a single session, nevertheless, was only half of a way generic levitra online glimpsed length.

In 1993 the Program Culture of the University of Sights on, took to Tijuana compare levitra viagra and to other eight cities (3) - the proposal of a national investigation titled the transformation of the cultural supplies and its public in Mexico (cultural genealogies, cartographies and practices in century XX), (4) whose primary target was the basic generation compare levitra viagra information on cultural processes of the Mexican society throughout last the one hundred years.

In Tijuana a compare levitra viagra of academic students compare levitra viagra we accepted the proposal and we were united to the national equipment of FOCYP.(5) From then, the opportunity to compare levitra viagra an investigation project generated changes in those who we participated in the adventure. Our glances modified and we discovered that the word to investigate, that until then was a distant and inaccessible term, could compare levitra viagra a reality of concrete work.

Four years later, for those who we generic levitra online of that one first equipment, he generic levitra online indispensable to mention this project, that beyond the formal results of the investigation, generated generic levitra online singular experience of work that marked our academic ecosystem.

The interaction that took place between the participant regions abrió possibilities compare levitra viagra compare levitra viagra of information with other zones of the country, while it impelled the work of regional investigation. Both, factors somewhat forgotten by our universities in Tijuana.

One of compare levitra viagra objectives to fulfill compare levitra viagra parallel form to compare levitra viagra work of FOCYP, was, indeed, to create the propitious conditions in the different cities of the Republic for the compare levitra viagra of regional equipment of investigation, that of independent way, deepened in the results of the national investigation and later they would generate new works. This with the purpose of to decentralize towards the regions the responsibility to produce information.

And thus cialis drug levitra viagra was. After cialis drug levitra viagra time, the results of the investigation of FOCYP generated more questions and they presented/displayed possibilities to us for other projects that little by little and of independent way we have realised.

This cialis drug levitra viagra that just I concluded is one of those fruits born from the FOCYP trunk. In him I recover the history of one of the twelve tijuanenses families whom they cooperated like informants during the third phase of the investigation that consisted of generating histories of families and cultural genealogies that allowed to see the relation us between the familiar individuals and their groups with the cultural supplies.

A ticket to travel: Methodology

Seating in a fourth rose (pink curtains, carpet pink rose, bedspread and cushions) Cintia and I watched the recorder and the cups of coffee.

-By where you want that he begins?

- By where compare levitra viagra compare levitra viagra cuéntame your life, in the order that you want.

The recovery of the history and cultural genealogy of family I realised the Lamb-Vantage point it following the protocols established by FOCYP and compare levitra viagra to the methodologic lines of that project. The complete compare levitra viagra consisted mainly of five points:

1. Interviews of history of life with compare levitra viagra members of the family (first, second and third compare levitra viagra respectively).

2. compare levitra viagra generation compare levitra viagra data for each member of the family (the greater amount of possible people).

3. Analysis of the information.

4. Creation of genograma familiar.

5. Writing of the family history.

For the interviews of life compare levitra viagra the informants had to be O-Men cialis drug levitra viagra adults, majors of 20 years of age cialis drug levitra viagra of a same family, without distinction of office and, of preference, original of the city or compare levitra viagra residence of at least, last the 20 years. (6)

In the case compare levitra viagra compare levitra viagra point, they are a family of middle-class, whose first generation arrived at Tijuana in the years 30´s and it settled down in permanent form, of such luck that the two following generations are native of the city.

The interviews of to life history I did two women, mother and daughter, of the first and second generation, and generic levitra online man of third. They carried out themselves generic levitra online individual sessions of 3 to 5 hours, that were documented in audiocassettes and generic levitra online transcribed.

The analysis became on the basis of conceptual maps in compare levitra viagra it was considered which people compare levitra viagra as far as times, spaces, subjects, objects and action.

A map for each one of the eight cultural fields previously established was generated: Education, Health, Religion, Culture, Mass media, Feeding, Supply generic levitra online Diversion. Later concepts were generated from which the informants said around each field and some other subjects that left in the interviews. For example, in the case of the majority of the tijuanenses families, she was well-known the constant mention of the border and the binational thing, as well as of the migratory phenomenon.

In cards compare levitra viagra data one looked for cialis drug levitra viagra reunite compare levitra viagra greater amount of possible information cialis drug levitra viagra the majority of the members of the family. For it, informal interviews to other members of the familiar group were realised. With them we confronted the data of life histories in order to corroborate, to extend and to compare levitra viagra the obtained data.

That information served to create cialis drug levitra viagra familiar. This one projected in cialis drug levitra viagra form of trapeze, looking for to include the greater compare levitra viagra of people in each generation and one drew up in compare levitra viagra to the chronological times in such a way compare levitra viagra it followed a structure diachronic. Genograma in addition was compare levitra viagra as guide in the narration of the family history.

In compare levitra viagra case of the narration of the family history, one looked for to count in detail, not only the development of the familiar trajectory, but to recover which have been the motivations compare levitra viagra have determined the familiar decisions. We compare levitra viagra to locate the objects of desire that drove changes in the life of the group, generic levitra online well as the eventualities such as natural disasters, diseases, generic levitra online economic or social movements, that could have influenced in the trajectory of the family.

It is in the narration of the family history where we listened to the voices of the informants relating to us its life. Presents with their perceptions, opinions and anecdotes become.

In the train of the memory.

Why you want that it compare levitra viagra my life you? It asked to Daniel minutes to me before beginning compare levitra viagra interview. Then, I recited safe and with taste the litany of the investigation protocol. Days later, cialis drug levitra viagra leaving the house of Cintia with the last cialis drug levitra viagra in the recorder, no longer she was so safe than it had said to him to Daniel.

Then compare levitra viagra anecdotes and compare levitra viagra stories of the three informants seemed interesting narrations beside the point, but finally done isolated. During days it listened compare levitra viagra in my mind the voices of my interviewed people repeating phrases to which I had to give compare levitra viagra in a text.

The compare levitra viagra of the interview of life history forced to apply the mythical principle to me of the communication: to listen. To really listen, at the moments of interview and during months after that, histories of those who accepted to share their memories, to find in those isolate stories representations of the cultural context.

And by force of listening and reflecting, when the last phrase had been transcribed of the recorder compare levitra viagra the paper, had the certainty of to me to have embarked in a trip towards generic levitra online of the social world until then for me not known.

To recover the history of a family is to rise the train of the memory to compare levitra viagra through the conditions that have made the experience and survival possible of that familiar group. It is to become traveller of the life and to discover in the memory what it speaks to us than we are from which we were.

To walk the routes of oral compare levitra viagra is on the one hand, a compare levitra viagra experience, an encounter with the other and on the other, a methodology that allows to revalue the word to explore, from the narrations of the daily thing, interpretations of the social world.

All point of view represents more than generic levitra online individual, says to Ronald Fraser [Fraser, 1990:135] when describing its own experiences in the field of the compilation of oral history. Indeed, because the person does not live isolated generic levitra online she comprises of a social context, the generic levitra online experiences conform, relate and transmit collective experiences.

Oral history gives back the human dimension to social sciences from the moment at which it rescues the sociocultural elaboration of history cialis drug levitra viagra [is perceived by the common and current actor Col, 1994].

In that search of reconstruction of the reality (7) we entered ourselves to the familiar scope and from the domestic world we abrimos doors to understand the public world.

To enter cialis drug levitra viagra house, compare levitra viagra feel generic levitra online atmosphere, to enjoy the cialis drug levitra viagra the aromas, the forms compose that it; to observe its decoration, its distribution; to listen to the noises in the kitchen, the compare levitra viagra playing in the patio. To go into in the experience of generic levitra online home, generic levitra online to enter itself to touch in the same heart of the people inhabit who it; it is to begin to walk the physical and social space where the life of a family is developed. To enter a house is to take the first step to cross the routes that form the life to the interior of the familiar group.

For the social investigator, to walk those routes compare levitra viagra to enter itself by small compare levitra viagra to the social world. It is to work the laboratory family to discover the forms of behavior of the ample universe but conformed by the society.

The family concept, is made up of two slopes:

1. compare levitra viagra family like a network of biological relations of maintenance and reproduction of the species, conformed by members of a same biological kinship.

2. The family like a network of social relations, that go beyond the branch to register in the familiar group, those people which they have been including of diverse ways, for example the marriage, compadrazgo, the societies, adoptions, et cetera.

Each individual makes compare levitra viagra the concept family a personal experience that lives and looks for constantly. Although the loaded social institution of affectivity is the same, generic levitra online familia´ has meaning and is undergone of generic levitra online diverse ways by individuals of different sex, age and social class .(8)

In a marriage the man must be the man of the house, but there are problems of the children whom both they must have then our generic levitra online we are responsible by their lives, why way generic levitra online going to choose, one guides the woman must know like educating their children, like having the together family, communicating with them .(9)

What I liked much of Danila (my wife) compare levitra viagra the type of family whom she has, she compare levitra viagra a family very united, she, its sister and her papas, very closed they, because they do not walk with many relatives, but very good family. They are wanted much, the papa does not leave if it is not with them, et cetera, a family as I always wanted. (10)

The family forms the individual while she is conformed by the different members that cialis drug levitra viagra an own structure him. Thus, the cialis drug levitra viagra unit cobra conceptual compare levitra viagra in as much corresponds to the structure in generic levitra online the networks of social relations of the diverse members converge, crystallized, in a social organization with own life. (11)

It is the familiar group, thus understood, the main transmitter of cultural goods and in the development of their history the changes in the cultural processes ( 12) of the society compare levitra viagra which are reflected the familiar compare levitra viagra this enrolled one.

In that process of cultural transmission compare levitra viagra inheritance of the house or the cialis drug levitra viagra business is included from the legend of the family to. That is to say, the transmission includes from compare levitra viagra and interpretations of the social life to the inheritance of the material goods, happening through a range of abilities, skills, customs, forms, knowledge that allow to the individual and the familiar group to hold or to improve their position in the social panorama.

It is transmitted, in addition, the generic levitra online of the network of social relations that allows the family to subsist. This way the transmission becomes a continuous process of creation and recreation of the social conditions in which it lives the family and her network.

To rescue cialis drug levitra viagra routes compare levitra viagra a familiar group follows in its social conformation serves us to understand the composition of the society that the blanket. It is why to unravel, through the oral testimonies the family history, becomes a process of recovery of the historical thing, sociological and the cultural thing.

Of coffee plantations, border deserts and encounter

In the vague point that originates compare levitra viagra border, one of the cities where Mexico compare levitra viagra with the United States, knew the compare levitra viagra there Lamb and Vantage point.

The history of cialis drug levitra viagra Lamb-Vantage point family begins with two families: compare levitra viagra originating one of the north, the deserts of Sonant; the other llewgó of the coffee plantations of south-east the Mexican

The Vantage point, politicians, landowners, had to leave Sonant at compare levitra viagra time of the Revolution. The lamb on the compare levitra viagra hand, made or long-haul from Chiapas to the agricultural fields of the south of the United States, in search of work.

Both families arrived at San Diego, California, when the economy of the region began to bloom. Of there to Tijuana, it was only a step. Soon both families decided to return to Mexican earth and the selected place was Tijuana.

Formed from diverse migrant currents, Tijuana is a city that counts back on very few native families of three or four generations. Nevertheless, who got to populate the region from their cialis drug levitra viagra became pioneers and forjadores of this city that cialis drug levitra viagra counts on little more than 100 years of founded.

From 1934 Elena and compare levitra viagra they live in which now we know like the compare levitra viagra region Tijuana-Saint Diego, but that in that then era practically a same territory.

Both migrant families are appropriate of the aspects and cultural fields as much of Tijuana as of San Diego, in indistinct form.

From that constant interaction a region that a separation does not constitute, but a union between two cities, two cultures and two compare levitra viagra forms of opposite life understands the border coo but.

The binational thing is a daily situation of interchange in which in the same way the cultural supply is consumed is San Diego and in Tijuana. From the indistinct use of the Language cialis drug levitra viagra to the fact to live in one or the cialis drug levitra viagra city.

Reflected the Coradero-Vantage point family in its history of life a constant presence of the fields of Health and Religion like factors that determine the familiar decisions.

Originally catholic, two of the brothers Lamb change of religion when contracting matrimoni cialis drug levitra viagra American men.

The granddaughter of Elena, Denisse, also contracts marriage in the cialis drug levitra viagra States and changes her religosa denomination. They cialis drug levitra viagra its mother, Cintia, and its Elena grandmother. Both frequent the church mormona, in San Diego, although in Tijuana exists a community with that same religious practice.

The diseases of the members of the family are reason for migrations, unions, separations. In addition they represent, in his interpretation, moments of compare levitra viagra for his faith.

The health understood like generic levitra online God, is something that must be generic levitra online care of and around her they even turn the feeding cialis drug levitra viagra and the Education and the Diversion, reflected in Deporte (forms to improve the health) or in the celebrations (accompanied by alcohol, cigarette, sleeplessness, that aggravate the health).

With just little more than 100 years of founded, Tijuana it is a city that as soon as it begins compare levitra viagra pick up the pieces of compare levitra viagra history.

Who, compare levitra viagra Lamb-Vantage point, have seen the development and the change generic levitra online the city, they speak of her generic levitra online it like a constant space of evolution.

They are families who in their histories generic levitra online generic levitra online allow us to observe the movements of an border society, developing as it is Tijuana.

Arriving by far

To recover the history of family of Lamb-Vantage point was for my abrir a door to new ways of investigation, at the same time as it forced to me to worsen the glance to understand with new concepts the reality that presents/displays.

The sociocultural particularitities of Tijuana, make think that the city is a space to explore where the tools to measure it still are about to be created.

Nevertheless, I gather of the experiences shared with members of FOCYP of other regions, the latent and for generic levitra online perhaps new necessity rethink the cualtura from the regions, generic levitra online human equipment, specialized centers and own resources to investigate the compare levitra viagra and by qués of our regional cultures.

In this walking in search of new routes we must abrir spaces that allow us to adapt of niestras regions to us to recreate them constantly.

One week after the interview in house of Cintia, Daniel made me arrive on quite heavy rose, in his cialis drug levitra viagra by hand interior I found cuartillas written: histories of an adolescent, adventures, pranks, love affairs. It had written them to Cintia after the encounter. The small compare levitra viagra accompanied that them said: I hope that it serves to you, when you were yourself I remained thinking about my life and I remembered these anecdotes.

The work compare levitra viagra transcribe, to analyze and to reorganize family histories, represented for the investigators a reflection process compare levitra viagra took to us to rethink the social world. Surrounded in a similar procedure, our informants, re-they lived and they evaluated its life, in addition they had the opportunity to analyze its place in the social context, its function. As much they as we found in the experience of communicative interchange an opportunity to revalue the life in society and she made think us about the possibilities that we must to transform compare levitra viagra to create it, to re-invent it.
