Sumario:This paper proposes a theoretical discussion on the apparent paradox that exists between acting and believing in order to highlight the differences between the city (where we act) and the peripheral territories contained therein that are occupied by indigenous people (where we believe). This dichotomy lends itself to a conceptualization of the relation between peripheral and urban citizenship practices. We illustrate this through a case study of conflict over water, where politics is understood as a “struggle for the minds and hearts” (Harbers et al., 2016).We use the case of the community of San Bartolo Ameyalco, located at the heart of the Mexico City, to try to demonstrate how the practices of a marginalized political actor (an indigenous community or “pueblo originario”) articulates complex practices in ways that may recognize them as temporary citizens.In conclusion, the paper calls for more research on various forms of urban citizenship practices in order to better understand their multiple differences and nuances.
