CALONGE REILLO, Fernando. Travelling through the periphery of Guadalajara Metropolitan Area, Mexico. Between passivity and agency. Cuad. antropol. soc. [online]. 2019, n.50, pp.67-84.  Epub Dec 19, 2019. ISSN 1850-275X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34096/cas.i50.4966.

While a great part of the contemporary literature on mobilities has focused on how privileged social positions held by businessmen, academics, and professionals define contemporary mobile society, this paper will focus on the everyday mobilities of subordinated and peripheral populations, using fieldwork data from El Salto, a county (municipio) in the periphery of the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area, Mexico. Presenting the range of displacements and movements performed by its inhabitants, this article contests the dominant view of subordinated populations within a mobile society, often described as confined or passive.

Keywords : Mexico; Mobilities; Peripheries; Social Identity; Social exclusión.
