The dissertation is a basic description of segmental phonology, tone, and the functions of tone in the San Juan Quiahije (SJQ) variety of Eastern Chatino. Chatino languages are spoken in the southern part of Oaxaca, Mexico. Chatino languages form a subgroup that is coordinate with the Zapotec languages in the Zapotecan family of the Otomanguean linguistic stock. The dissertation focuses on the sound system of SJQ Chatino, its system of tones, and the lexical, morphological, and syntactic functions of the tone system. SJQ Chatino is of special interest because it is a Chatino variety that has reduced nearly all historic simple stems to monosyllables, leaving behind complex consonant clusters; it has an exceptionally large tone system and complex system of tonal sandhi; the tones mark significant grammatical contrasts in addition to lexical units; and tone sandhi is significant in cuing syntactic and discourse structure. This description starts with an introduction to the language, its language family, a typological overview, a brief history of my fieldwork, and the methodology undertaken in this study. The work then describes the segmental phonology, including syllable structure and the distribution of the consonant and vowel phonemes, and the tones and tone sandhi, arguing for a system of fourteen contrastive tones at the lexical level. The work then turns to the functions of tone, including the restrictions on the lexical tone system according to the part of speech, with special emphasis on numeral words; the use of tone in marking possessor person and number in inalienably possessed nouns, and in marking aspect and subject person and number in verb; and tone in Spanish loan words. The description and analysis of these aspects of Quiahije Chatino is based on data gathered through elicitation and oral texts as well as my own intuitions as a native speaker of SJQ Chatino. / text

The San Juan Ixcoi Mass is part of the San Miguel Acatan Repertory which was found in the northwestern highlands of Guatemala before being purchased by the Lilly Library at Indiana University. Even though the authorship and date of the mass cannot be established, the mass is similar to works from the Josquin generation. Not discounting the few transcription difficulties as well as isolated compositional weaknesses, the San Juan Ixcoi Mass demonstrates the reasonably high quality of music that was performed and even possibly composed in northwestern Guatemala three centuries ago. A modern performance edition of the mass complete with critical notes and commentary on the transcription is included within the thesis.

La presente investigación busca marcar las pautas para el correcto diseño de un Centro Comunitario que contribuya a suplir el déficit de infraestructura de un sector del distrito de San Juan de Lurigancho. Se parte de las problemáticas sociales de la zona y de la investigación de la tipología para introducir funciones específicas según los requerimientos propios de la población de la zona. Así mismo, proyectos referenciales, tanto nacionales como extranjeros ayudan a darle forma a la propuesta. Se define y analiza el terreno elegido y sus alrededores, el tipo y cantidad de usuario, la frecuencia de uso y el radio de acción del proyecto, todo ello tomando especial consideración en el diseño integral del proyecto con su ciudad. De ahí que se enfatice en la integración de espacios exteriores e interiores para que así, el espacio público, el entorno y el peatón guíen el planteamiento formal y espacial de la propuesta. / The present investigation seeks to set the guidelines for the correct design of a Community Center that contributes to supply the infrastructure deficit of a sector of the district of San Juan de Lurigancho. It has started from the social problems of the area and the investigation of the typology to introduce specific functions according to the requirements of the population of the area. Likewise, reference projects, both national and foreign, help to shape the proposal. The chosen terrain and its surroundings are defined and analyzed, the type and quantity of the user, the frequency of use and the radius of action of the project, all taking special consideration in the integral design of the project with their city. Hence, emphasis is placed on the integration of exterior and interior spaces so that, public space, the environment and the pedestrian guide the formal and spatial approach of the proposal. / Tesis

Es de consenso general que la inseguridad ciudadana es en la actualidad un serio problema a resolver en nuestro país. En la encuesta de Apoyo, Opinión y Mercado de abril del 2007, se señala que “la falta de seguridad ciudadana” (35%) es, junto al desempleo, la pobreza y la corrupción, uno de los problemas que más le afecta a la mayoría de peruanas y peruanos. Asimismo, a la pregunta “¿se siente Ud. inseguro o seguro al salir a las calles?”, el 83% contesta sentirse inseguro1 En la presente investigación vamos a estudiar cómo se gestó y gestionó la política pública local en materia de seguridad ciudadana en San Juan de Lurigancho (SJL) . En este contexto, donde la inseguridad parece aumentar continuamente, es importante estudiar qué experiencias se han dado en nuestro país en la búsqueda de pistas o posibles soluciones para una problemática que tiene una dimensión nacional, pero sobre todo local. / Tesis
