MARTINEZ RAMIREZ, María Isabel. The other of the other. Between two narratives about logging in the Sierra Tarahumara, Chihuahua, Mexico. Revista Col. San Luis [online]. 2019, vol.9, n.19, pp.125-150.  Epub Nov 19, 2020. ISSN 2007-8846.  https://doi.org/10.21696/rcsl9192019974.

This article discusses and compares two narratives of the processes by which forests and pines are resources, forest products and family members of the rarámuri of the Sierra Tarahumara, Chihuahua, Mexico. By rebuilding the institutional framework and chronology of logging in the 20th century, an ethnographic translation of the Rarámuri narratives about logging in the ejido Norogachi, Guachochi, compiled between 2002 and 2016 is presented. These narratives, pertaining to two particular ways of constructing history, open study pathways to question the perspective and participation of the rarámuri in regional processes of economic exploitation throughout the 20th century. In this research, the convergence and disjunction between two narratives about logging in the Sierra Tarahumara in the 20th century, derived from particular historical histories and regimes, are shown.

Keywords : logging; Sierra Tarahumara; rarámuri; otherness; modes of existence.
