MARTINEZ GONZALEZ, Mercedes. Entre la imagen y la palabra: representaciones infantiles del tejido de palma entre los mixtecos contemporáneos de Santiago Cacaloxtepec. Cuicuilco [online]. 2015, vol.22, n.64, pp.245-267. ISSN 0185-1659.

Through the study of discourses and images produced by children from a Mixtec community, this paper shows the way in which palm weaving acts as an axis for the continuity between the traditional past and a contradictory urban future. The research focuses on the analysis of children's representations of palm weaving and proposes a way in which Design Theory could be employed within the field of contemporary anthropological research.
