Governance, De-commoditization, and Communality among the Ngigua Leaders of San Marcos Tlacoyalco in Puebla, Mexico
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Ngiguas, an Indigenous community of San Marcos Tlacoyalco in Puebla, Mexico, are in the process of building their governance through the design and practice of their own development projects on issues pertaining to the protection and exploitation of their natural resources, media autonomy, and traditional foods. Such a building effort is grounded on the concept of comunalidad (communality), which was expressed in non-patriarchal and non-capitalist terms by the late Mixe intellectual Floriberto Díaz Gómez in the 1980s. Since then, it has been used by the Ngigua people in their grassroots constructions of governance and development. Starting from the premise that development constitutes a Ngigua strategy for crafting communality, this article looks at how Ngigua leaders negotiate their governance and decommodification. Based on ethnographic research, this study presents communality as the spiral of intersubjective experiences of Indigenous people where the truth about the other is inhabited by Indigenous people in a non-linear dialogical perspective.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
