Abstract

RODRIGUEZ-LEAL-ISLA, Alma Luisa. Mexican culture wars. The culture of poverty in the Progresa-Oportunidades-Prospera’s design. Espiral (Guadalaj.) [online]. 2022, vol.29, n.84, pp.89-131.  Epub Oct 17, 2022. ISSN 1665-0565.

Using interpretative analysis methods, the paper looks at policy and analyzes the meaning, values and judgements implicit in the devices that gave footing to the program’s creation and of the analysis of six interviews with public officials in a position to make decisions and that participated in part in the creation or modification of the program. The results show that the prejudices of the culture of poverty are present in the documents that gave rise to the program, in the founding documents of the program and within the narratives of said public officials.

Keywords : cultura de la pobreza; guerras culturales; política social; análisis interpretativo de políticas.
