| Research Abstract |
THE PROJECT AIMED, FIRST, TO BE AN AREA STUDY IN THE AGE OF GLOBALIZATION. SECONDLY, IT PAID SPECIAL ATTENTION TO MEXICOS SOCIALLY AND POLITICALLY MOST IMPORTANT ANNUAL EVENT. THE INDEPENDENCE DAY OF SEPTEMBER 16TH. THIRDLY, IT FOCUSED ITS ATTENTION ON THE RELATION BETWEEN THE CAPITAL CITY AND THE COUNTRYSIDE IN MEXICO WITH REGARD TO THE FEAST OF THE INDEPENDENCE DAY. FOURTHLY, IT DARED TO COMPARE THE MEXICAN INDEPENDENCE DAY WITH THAT IN OTHER COUNTRIES SUCHAS KIRGIZSTAN.
THE RESEARCHERS OF THE PROJECT, CONSISTED OF ANTHROPOLOGISTS AND SOCIOLOGISTS, FOUND THE FOLLOWING FACTS. FIRST, THE INDEPENDENCE DAY IN GUADALAJARA, AN INFUENTIAL CITY IN WESTERN MEXICO, WAS HISTORICALLY AN OCCASION OF NEGOTIATION BETWEEN LOCAL ECONOMIC INTERESTS AND NATIONAL POLITICAL DEMANDS. IN 1910, THE YEAR OF THE CENTENNIAL OF THE NATION'S INDEPENDENCE, THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT UTILIZED THE OCCASION TO GET FEDERAL SUBSIDIF.S TO BUILD PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND SCHOOLS. IN YUCATAN, A SOUTHWESTERN STATE, THE INDEPENDENCE DAY IS THE OCCASION TO IMAGINE THE REPUBLIC AS A NATIONAL COMMUNITY WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF LOCAL CHARACTERS IN WHICH YUCATAN DISTINGUISHES ITSELF AS AN OUTSTANDING REGION WITH A STRONG INDEPENDENT SPIRIT FROM MEXICO. THE COMPARISON BETWEEN THE INDEPENDENCE DAY OF MEXICO AND KIRGIZSTAN SHOWS THAT THE FORMER IS AN EVENT TO SINGLE OUT ITS MILITARY POWER WHILE THE LATTER THAT WON INDEPENDENCE IN 1991 WITHOUT ARMS AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE COLLAPSE OF THE SOVIET UNION IN 1989. IN THE FIRST DECADE OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY WITNESSED MEXICO AS A STILL INCOMPLETE NATION-STATE WHILE THE IMPERIALISTIC JAPAN AT THE TURN OF THE SAME CENTURY HAD ALREADY MADE THE COUNTRYAMORE INTEGRATED ONE.
ALL THESE RESULTS OF THE PROJECT WERE PRESENTED AT A WORKSHOP TAKEN PLACE AT COLEGIO DE MEXICO, MEXICO CTTY, IN NOVEMBER 2007, AND RAISED MUCH DEBATE AMONG JAPENESE AND MEXICAN SCHOLARS. THE RESULT OF THE WORKSHOP IS SCHECULED TO BE PUBLISHED BY THE COLEGIO DE MEXICO IN 2008.
