After six years of publication, Periferia continues to opt for work that emerges from the interests, the learning experience and the research of graduate students. This option has proved even more fruitful than we had foreseen, leading to new opportunities for our readers and for potential authors of articles.

With the supplement "An Anthropological Look at Objects," we open a space for fieldwork carried out in university programs of training and research. These ethnographic exercises have a dual value that we hope this new series makes clear: on the one hand, a variety of approaches to reality; and on the other, since the studies were produced in the shared spaces of university training and research groups, the enrichment that comes with collaborative vision and shared effort. Our hope is that this first and suggestive supplement stimulates the submission of other practical exercises rescued from fieldnotes and class presentations.

As in previous issues we continue to count on the participation of the Interview Project, which brings to us another great figure in anthropology, Teresa del Valle. The dialogue with her recalls key moments in recent anthropology and lays out the challenges the discipline must face, like professionalization, and the analysis of social fissure.

The articles and reviews take us to a variety of scenarios -- youths in cities far apart, Madrid and Lima-- and a variety of groups -- fisherman en Malasia and drug-dependent prisoners in Barcelona. But all share a common interest in intensive and minutious ethnographic research.
