  • 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.

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.

It consolidated this place as the national epicenter for the vindi- cation of rights and social demands of the Mexicans. In the 21st century, in the midst of another crisis, this time the generalized violence against women, the Paseo is once again redefining itself, encompassing its most emblematic and tangible elements, like the Angel of Independence.

  • Monuments of Culture and the Cult of the Monument
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of the Liberal Arts MONUMENTS OF CULTURE AND THE CULT OF THE MONUMENT A Dissertation in Comparative Literature by Renae Mitchell © 2013 Renae L. Mitchell Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2013 DOCTORAL COMMITTEE PAGE The dissertation of Renae L. Mitchell was reviewed and approved* by the following: Djelal Kadir Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of Comparative Literature Dissertation Adviser and Chair of Committee Thomas O. Beebee Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of Comparative Literature and German Julia Cuervo-Hewitt Associate Professor of Spanish and Portuguese Sean X. Goudie Associate Professor of English Caroline D. Eckhardt Professor of Comparative Literature and English Head of the Department of Comparative Literature *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. Abstract By evaluating instances of creative critiques and interrogations of the monument, this study seeks to demonstrate how commemorations of a valorized European past are constructions of an originary moment that elide the complexities of Conquest and its attendant legacy of transculturation and miscegenation in the Americas. This project explores the ways in which the American monument subverts popular resistance by embodying master narratives for a people, and focuses on the ideological manifestations of the monument through the works of writers who figure prominently, one could say, monumentally, in the Americas. I trace this phenomenon of alienating monumentalism in various cultural productions—not only books, but sculpture, earthworks, and other artifacts — examining the formation of asymmetrical cultural relations embodied by these products, especially as they continue to influence contemporary American narrative and art.

When the Grand Canal was completed, at the end of the 1800s, it was Mexico City’s Brooklyn Bridge, a major feat of engineering and a symbol of civic pride: 29 miles long, with the ability to move tens of thousands of gallons of wastewater per second. It promised to solve the flooding and sewage problems that had plagued the city for centuries. Only it didn’t, pretty much from the start. The canal was based on gravity.

  • Meet Me at Sanborns: Labor, Leisure, Gender and Sexuality in Twentieth-Century Mexico
    MEET ME AT SANBORNS: LABOR, LEISURE, GENDER AND SEXUALITY IN TWENTIETH-CENTURY MEXICO KEVIN M. CHRISMAN A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN HISTORY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO October, 2018 © Kevin M. Chrisman, 2018 ii Abstract This dissertation is a cultural history about Sanborns, a Mexican business that began as a drugstore in 1903. It continues into the present as a national chain of restaurants and department stores owned by the Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim. Each chapter explores different topics of analysis: modernity, consumerism, and upper-class leisure culture; revolutionary masculinity and racial politics; food, commodities, and Mexican nationalism; working-class labor struggles and company paternalism, and urban sexuality. The dissertation examines how everyday life created and was created by post-Revolutionary Mexico’s changing gender ideologies, evolving nationalist culture, and openness to foreign capital. It argues that the Sanborns chain has been an essential site of contestation and redefinition of gender roles across Mexico. Tracing the development of Sanborns contributes to the discussion of Mexico’s national culture during the twentieth-century. Commercial retailers and spaces of consumption helped shape Mexico’s urban landscape and consumer identities. The popularity of Sanborns was shaped by local consumer tastes and global technologies as they developed over time. My work describes the collaboration and conflict between Sanborns and its customers who used the floor space in their own way; the store began as a place of leisure for Mexico’s upper-class but evolved into a sexual space shared among classes.
