It is frequently claimed that cultural agents are necessary to sustain and strengthen the social fabric, to guarantee economic growth and social development and to consolidate knowledge economies based on innovation. These arguments tend to avoid inquiring what kind of sociality these cultural actors are enacting. To address this point, we researched three Mexican midsize cities: Puebla, Tijuana, and Monterrey, between 1984 and 2017. Sociality produced by cultural dynamics, sponsored either by the public (cultural policy) or the private sector (cultural market), is generally characterised by a focus on social order, the construction of local identity, a hygienic view of public space and disempowerment of local actors. Differing from these views, our research has found a new form of sociality that we call ‘rough sociality’, produced by cultural agents from civil society. This sociality is conflictive, ephemeral, spatially bounded and affective, which has implications not only for the cultural work but, most importantly, for the social relations and the being/doing-togetherness that such work may enact and reproduce.

墨西哥中型城市的文化习俗和粗暴社会:蒂华纳、普埃布拉和蒙特雷

人们经常声称,文化代理人对于维持​​和加强社会结构、保证经济增长和社会发展以及巩固基于创新的知识经济是必不可少的。这些论点往往避免询问这些文化行为者正在制定什么样的社会性。为了解决这个问题,我们研究了 1984 年至 2017 年间的三个墨西哥中型城市:普埃布拉、蒂华纳和蒙特雷。 由公共(文化政策)或私营部门(文化市场)赞助的文化动态产生的社会性通常是其特点是关注社会秩序、地方身份的构建、公共空间的卫生观点和地方行为者的权力被剥夺。与这些观点不同,我们的研究发现了一种新的社会性形式,我们称之为“粗略的社会性”,由民间社会的文化代理人制作。这种社会性是冲突的、短暂的、空间有限的和情感的,这不仅对文化工作有影响,而且最重要的是,对社会关系以及这些工作可能制定和复制的存在/共同行动有影响。
