Resumen
RIOS MIRANDA, Alejandro. Los mundos imaginados de la precariedad global: La prisión en la ciudad de México. Nueva antropol [online]. 2014, vol.27, n.81, pp.149-180. ISSN 0185-0636.
This article discusses a series of economic, social, and cultural globalization processes reflected in their local consequences, such as the "blurring" of the Nation-State, the globalization of poverty, and the breakdown of social networks. In this regard, the local effects of globalization materialized in the population of a prison in Mexico City are described, exposed, and analyzed in comparison to the approaches of Oscar Lewis's "culture of poverty" and to Arjun Appadurai's "imagined subjectivities." What happens when the population's image of the Nation-State becomes blurred? What occurs when the population is deprived of protection and social security in the globalization process and the prison becomes an element of the blurring of the Welfare State? These questions are the core topics of this text.
