Tradition as a mechanism for social inclusion and exclusion

This document presents a way of approaching the phenomena of inclusion and exclusion from the point of view of tradition. The article shows how tradition has been understood and proposes an approach as "social technology" from which operation is understood before content. To demonstrate the functioning of tradition as a social technology from the perspective of inclusion and exclusion, the ethnography of Sosme Campos, carried out in the Sierra de Zongolica, is taken as an example.
