| Sumario: | This thesis is based on historical and ethnographic research in Milpa Alta, Mexico. This is a predominantly rural territory within Mexico City which has been collectively owned since the 17th Century and still contains many Nahuatl native speakers. My objective is to offer an anthropology of the Mexican State beginning through the analysis of local practices and subjectivities.This de-centred view of the state will be combined with an approach that situates the observed interactions within a long history as well as within regional, national, and trans- national scales of observation. Territory, identity, and political practice constitute the three axes along which this approach is realized. Together, these they help to elucidate the political arrangements through which State hegemony is reproduced. Territorial control, the appropriation of the national narrative, and the definition of citizenship or the legitimization of the local government, show that the consolidation of State hegemony not been at odds with the emergence of local sovereignties. From the point of view of the Milpaltense, their particularity coexisted, and was fostered by, the successive national projects promulgated by the Mexican State. |
