A Brazilian Factory Study 1966. Working Class Conditions and Attitudes during a
Political – Economic Crisis. Presentation Charles Wagley. Springer, Joseph Frank,
Cuernavaca 1969 (=CIDOC Cuaderno 33)
• This study deals with the socio-economic conditions and attitudes of the work
force of a single Brazilian factory based upon research undertaken during 1966,
during the governmental launched plan for the industrialization of the country
• This book deals with the effect of the transition on the workers and their
commitment and motivation: problems posed by labor’s motivation for
performing unfamiliar tasks, performance and acceptance of behaviours
“appropriate to an industrial way of life”, the above during moments of crisis for
the working class after the “Orden e Progresso” order of 1964
• The aims of this research are to broadly probe possible sources of worker
discontent, frustration, and anxiety as they were felt within the actual factory
situation and to reflect the condition of the Brazilian workers and the prospects
for their role in economic and social development

CIF Reports v. 1 April 1962 – March 1963, Cuernavaca 1969 (=CIDOC Cuaderno
36)
• Cultures, Church, the Americas:
1. Cultures: “CIF Reports will give readers information on art, literature, music in
the Americas, but first of all, it will examine in depth the social economic, and
political realities that differ from one people’s culture to another
2. Church: Making the Church the core of the reports, we recognize that the
Church does not belong to any one culture but is ready to live and be witness to
Christ in every culture
3. The Americas: Confining the scope of this service to “the Americas”, we are
particularly aware of the similarities and contrasts among the nations of the New
World; all of them have ties with the Old World and their people are a mixed
group, often with elements from throughout the world; but the history of these
nations greatly varies and perhaps the most remarkable evidence of this is the
existence in North America of a pluralistic society, while Latin American
society remains almost completely Unitarian from a socio-religious point of
view
• Each issue of CIF Reports aims to be a highly concentrated and clearly distilled
fund of data needed as the spark and fuel of profitable dialogue between North
Americans and their Latin neighbours
• For the United States and Canada Latin America is a key to understanding the
values that still reign fro better or for worse in lands that have nor yet been
smothered by materialism. At the same time the Untied States and Canada are a
source from which Latin American lands can learn modern techniques to
develop both the temporal and spiritual lives of their peoples
• Specific objectives of CIF Reports: educating readers on the variety of cultures
in the Americas and on contemporary realities in Latin America; reporting
action being taken in various problem areas of Latin America; and making
available studies and ideas being circulated among Catholic leaders of the
Americas both with regard to changing human institutions and with regard to the
adaptation of Church structures to these changes
• CIF Reports form: one short, clear and well documented study of a particular
Latin American social reality to which the Church and its people must adjust and
penetrate to make Christ present in society; one study of the Church’s life and

work in Latin America; a review of the month in the Americas, a choice of items
that tend to highlight contrasts between cultures and peoples of the Americas; an
introduction to the arts, music and literature in and about Latin America; a
section devoted to the readers, channelling information on specific needs and
projects, and also contributing to the exchange of ideas in the Americas

Education and the Rise of the Corporate State. Spring, Joel H., Cuernavaca 1971
(=CIDOC Cuaderno 50)
• Memo from Ivan Illich: Spring has written a dense, lucid and readable history of
the American public school system and its relationship to progressive liberal
politics; for Illich this is an excellent writing on “educational history” which
accounts for the increasing sophistication, hypocrisy and futility of social control
• Spring’s argument: the primary purpose of the school system is social control
for a corporate state and for a society which has as its goal the efficient
production and discipline consumption of a growing amount of goods and
services (machinelike society)
• The purpose of this book is to explore the meaning progressives gave to public
education during its most formative period at the beginning of the twentieth
century
• The basic thesis is that “corporate society” as an image shaped the form and
direction of American public education in the twentieth century: adoption of the
goal of training the type man required and education as one institution working
with others to assure the progress and efficient operation of the social system
• Man was seen as raw material whose worth was determined by his contribution
to the whole system

• This study deals with significant problems: to what extent have African
traditions survived in a New World setting? What are the ways in which these
traditions and customs have been modified? What adjustments did the people
involved have to make?
• Joel has made intensive investigations of West African traditions, especially in
Brazil, Cuba, the Guianas, and Haiti
• Religion emerges as the most important exponent of African traditions, and its
influence pervades almost every act of daily life, be it work or play, social or
cultural; religion has left its mark upon dance, music, literature, and the arts
• The religious climate is also conducive to good mental health: there is hardly
any need for a psychiatrist, nor does the priest serve as one; the individual
adjusts and finds emotional security in group activities within this setting of
supernatural protection
• Joel asks herself: “Are these African traditions simply “exotic”, “outlandish”,
“illogical” or can they be accommodated within the logical and philosophical
systems of the Western mind?”
• The author believes that the monistic idea in West African religion, the Supreme
Deity, represents the Western concept of anima mundi, the soul of the world,
while the divinities coexisting with the Supreme Deity represent natural forces
and the characteristics of men

Retooling Society III. Illich, Ivan, Cuernavaca 1973 (=CIDOC Cuaderno 80)
• The general theme of the series, of which this Cuaderno is a part of, is the
multiple and independent limits to the further expansion of the industrial mode
of production
• This Cuaderno is the manuscript of the book “Tools for Conviviality”, which is
written within the framework of “Multi-dimensional Limits to Institutional
Growth and their Political Formulation”
• As the result of years of critical research on the monopoly of the industrial mode
of production, Illich and his team in Cuernavaca have arrived to the following
conclusions: (1) Universal education through compulsory schooling is not
feasible; (2) Alternate devices for the production of universal education are more
feasible and less tolerable; and (3) A society committed to high levels of shared
learning, and critical personal intercourse must set pedagogical limits on
industrial overgrowth
• Illich proposes the concept of a multi-dimensional balance of human life which
can serve as a framework for evaluating man’s relation to his tools: in each of
several dimensions of this balance it is possible to identify a natural scale
• Society can be destroyed when further growth renders the milieu hostile, when it
extinguishes the free use of the natural abilities of society’s members, when it
isolates people from each other and locks them into a man-made shell, when it
undermines the texture of community by promoting extreme social polarization
and splintering specialization, or when cancerous acceleration enforces social
change at a rate that rules out legal, cultural and political precedents as guides to
consentive procedures in the present: no management can make such an
enterprise serve a social purpose
• To formulate a theory about a future society both very modern and not
dominated by industry, it will be necessary to recognize certain common
illusions: only within limits can machines take the place of slaves, only within
limits can education fit people into a man-made environment, only within limits
ought politics to be concerned with the distribution of maximum industrial
outputs; such a society, in which modern tools serve politically organized
individuals rather than bureaucrats will be called “convivial”
The Mayan Woman and Change. Elmendorf, Mary Lindsay, Cuernavaca 1972

• This study seeks to explore the lives, character, and roles of peasants, especially
peasant women in the Mayan community Chan Kom in Mexico

modernization; it undertakes a direct investigation on the nature of women’s
