Description:	Remembering the indigenous peasant mentioned in the preface, we also recall that he was talking to an official of the Guatemalan army . Such a situation is by no means an inter-subjective face-to-face encounter between “alter” and “ego” that develops its specific dynamics exclusively from itself . Instead, the peasant is a member of a Pentecostal church and not of a resistant Catholic base community . Moreover, the officer is a quite high-ranking member of an army widely known for its cruel massacres of civilians, “disappearances” of people, and a strong determination to extinguish any mobilization against the interests of the upper classes . Both peasant and officer are “not alone,” so to say . Both are doubly restrained by circumstances largely beyond their control . On the one hand, both are guided and limited by schemes of perceiving, classifying, and judging the world, and of acting in it, which each of them has embodied during his whole life and according to his socialization . To name simply some of the most visible traits: the peasant is reluctant, silent, and subservient; the officer is space-taking, loud, and dominant .
