| Summary: | This article aims to build the biographical narrative of Aslan, a Jew from Aleppo
origin, who immigrated to Mexico at the beginning of the 20th Century. In this story, personal,
family, community, local and national aspects converge, whose organizing axis is the economic
itinerary in the context of the growth of the urban capitalism in Mexico City. It seeks to
characterize the ethos of the life world of Aslán, that is, that cultural nucleus that is related to
social identities, with systems of shared representations, with collective consciousness, with
worldviews and other habits, through the description of the business of financial intermediation
and the particularities of the economic interactions that took place in that context. Aslan's life
story unfolds and unravels in family succession and business legacy. Finally, a reflective note
is elaborated on the achievements and limitations of their experience from the diverse positions
of those who were part of that history and from the interpretative perspective of the researcher.
To remember, deconstruct and co-construct the experience of Aslán tries not only to present an
individual biography, but to recreate an epoch, a world of life where one's experience makes
sense in the ethos of the intersubjective context in which it is inserted.
