SIGNED: Celestine González de Bustamante 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Over the past several years, I have received moral and financial support from an esteemed and diverse group of individuals from across the North American continent for which I am so grateful. In Mexico City, archivists at the Archivo General de la Nación tirelessly combed the cells of the former Lecumberri prison for me. The staff at the Biblioteca Mexicana de la Fundación Miguel Alemán, especially Susanna Gallegos and Patricia Rojas, led me on the right path to the Televisa News Archives. Through the assistance of Licenciado Jorge Viduarretta, I was allowed access to the Televisa News Archives. Mario Arrieta Gutierrez and Antonio Ruíz Maquedam, Filmoteca de Noticieros de Televisa archivists enthusiastically helped me locate valuable newscast scripts. I thank Licenciado Miguel Alemán Velasco, who graciously agreed to an interview and introduced me to other former Televisa executives. Also, I thank Adriana Labardini, who welcomed me into her home and talked with me about her father, Jorge Labardini and his role as a television pioneer. Professor Guillermo Palacios encouraged and listened intently to me, in Mexico and Tucson, at the initial stages of the project, when I still had no clear understanding of where it was going. In the United States, I have benefited greatly from numerous scholars including, Alex Saragoza and Eric Zolov, who shared their work with me, prior to publication. In addition, Roderic Ai Camp introduced me to Miguel Alemán Velasco. A supreme cadre of mentors at the University of Arizona steered me in the right direction and offered unwavering support including my dissertation committee: William H. Beezley, Bert Barickman, and Jacqueline Sharkey. Professors Beezley’s and Sharkey’s valuable insights and advice, personal and academic, helped me tremendously. Additionally, Professors Kevin Gosner, Richard Eaton, Raúl Saba, and Edward Williams provided words of wisdom and inspiration. I am thankful for the financial support I have received from the following organizations: the Tinker Foundation, Hewlett Foundation, Foreign Language Area Studies (FLAS) grant from the U.S. Department of Education, the Champion Research Fund, U.A. department of history, U.A. department of journalism, and the Aldaco-Dublin Excellence in Television Research Fund. In Tucson, professional and academic colleagues, friends, and family provided a well spring of inspiration. I thank Héctor González, KUAT-TV (PBS) Executive Producer who allowed me to follow my intellectual dreams. The friendship and insights from my colleagues at the journalism department reminded me of why I wanted to finish. Fellow graduate students fostered an intellectually stimulating, yet non-competitive environment in which to learn and work. I cherish the late night talks and laughs with my dear friends, Maritza de la Trinidad and Tracy Goode, who lent me their ears, even when they might have been too tired to listen. At home, Antonia Rodriquez helped me care for one of my greatest joys, my daughter Claire. Additionally, I thank my parents, Samuel and Nina González, who early in my life instilled in me the inner-strength necessary to embark upon and finish a dissertation. Finally, I am eternally indebted to my wonderful husband Héctor Bustamante and our beloved Claire. Their patience and faith in me kept me going, when at times I thought I could not. Thank you, mis vidas! 5 DEDICATION To Héctor and Claire, 6 TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES .............................................................................................................8 LIST OF TABLES.............................................................................................................10 ABSTRACT.......................................................................................................................11 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION TO TELE-VISIONES (TELE-VISIONS) ....................13 Television and the Larger Picture.............................................................................21 The Rise of Television in Mexico.............................................................................31 Historiography ..........................................................................................................49 Methodology and Theory..........................................................................................52 An Outline of a Dissertation .....................................................................................55 CHAPTER 2: INVENTING TELE-TRADICIONES, 1950-1955......................................61 Constructing Commercial News...............................................................................64 Consolidation ............................................................................................................69 Produciendo las noticias (Producing the News) ......................................................70 Content: Who and What’s on the News....................................................................77 Consuming tele-traditions, Interpretations................................................................92 Conclusion ................................................................................................................93 CHAPTER 3: REBELS AND REVOLUTIONARIES: INCONSISTENT DISSIDENTS, 1956-1959...................................................................96 Forging Unrest on the Railroad: The National Picture .............................................99 Production: Constructing Railway Rebels on the Airwaves...................................101 Cuba’s Revolution on the Airwaves .......................................................................112 The Representation of Dissident Railway Workers................................................128 Interpretations: Peering Back into the Viewers’ Eyes ............................................132 Conclusion ..............................................................................................................135 CHAPTER 4: DOCUMENTED BORDER CROSSINGS AND OTHER PRESIDENTIAL ACTIVITIES, 1959 ............................................................................136 Producing the Presidential ......................................................................................138 Visits and Visions ...................................................................................................142 Tata Lázaro in Havana............................................................................................143 López Mateos and mexicanidad in the United States .............................................149 Ike in Acapulco.......................................................................................................165

    TEAM-Mexico’s Guided Discovery Orientation Program An Introduction to TEAM-Mexico’s Guided Discovery Program “After three weeks of residing in the republic of Mexico, Mr. Winthrop was not only convinced that he knew the country perfectly, but also that he had seen everything- that he had penetrated the character and the customs of its people and had explored it thoroughly.” Translated from Canasta de Cuentas Mexicanos by B. Traven Cultural Orientation: FAIL! Unlike this clueless tourist, we hope that you will start the journey of understanding and enjoying Mexico and her culture. It will take a lifetime! That’s why we called our program Peregrinando which means, “ taking a journey, a pilgrimage.” This program is part of a two year orientation for new workers . On the next page, you will see a timeline. It includes formal language study, journaling and a coaching program. We hope that you will develop skills of observation and sympathetic questioning that will serve you throughout your career. Please journal your observations and discuss your experience with your coach each week. Both of you can keep a checklist to record your progress. The activities can be done in any order. Some of the activities will be easy to do, others may require a translator for you to complete. If you would like to substitute another activity or reading for one we have chosen, please talk with your coach first. Our thanks to Beth Wyse, Curriculum Designer for Lifelearner Network, who guided us as we attempted “the discovery method.” We used many of Dr. Herbert Purnell’s general topics as an outline for our program (2004, A Language and Culture Learning Program for Independent Learners, preliminary rev.

  • I Would Like to Close This Point by Adding That Garciadiego Combines
    REVIEWS I would like to close this point by adding that Garciadiego combines and links the biographies of hundreds of individuals with the university's process as an institution to describe and explain the collective without ever forgetting the individuals. Another of the work's important hypotheses deals with the basis for the university. The author says, The destruction of the old regime and the emergente of a new social order after the revolutionary struggle had a great impact on the National University, to the degree that we can say that by 1920, its nature had changed radically. We could even say that the institution was really born in 1920 and not in 1910, and that the heritage of the porfirista Justo Sierra is smaller than that of the revolutionary José Vasconcelos. What was the nature of the university that underwent this change? According to Garciadiego, the answer may be that it became an institution interested in and which active- A la sombra del ángel ly sought to solve social, political and contemporary prob- (In the Angers Shadow) lems. But what is absolutely clear is that at that time —and Kathryn S. Blair perhaps even more so today— the university had to struggle Editorial Alianza and change in order to endure.

It all begins Thursday December 8, 2016. I remember that night I read on Instagram "EVERYONE SHOULD MOVE TO MEXICO CITY", of course I think about it. The city is full of bleached browns, there are tanned whites, the blacks are blacks, but still all whitewashed. Bleach. Here all English speakers would feel at home. We are the west, westerners. There are reds and blues, bicolored and tricolored. But it should be clarified: Mexico City is not Berlin, it is not New York, it is not Tokyo, it is not Istanbul, it is not Seoul, it is not Shanghai, it is not Paris, it is not Dubai, it is not London, it is not Rio de Janeiro, it is not Bogota, it is not Karachi, it is not Miami, it is not Lagos, it is not Mumbai, it is not Jakarta, it is not Cairo, it is not Buenos Aires, it is not Montevideo, it is not Sao Paulo, it is not Johannesburg, it is not Ho Chi Minh, it is not Brussels, it is not Bangkok, it is not Moscow, it is not Basel, it is not Teheran, it is not Santiago, it is not Singapore…It is Mexico City.
