  • 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.

  • La Pocha Nostra Hidvl Artist Profiles
    LA POCHA NOSTRA HIDVL ARTIST PROFILES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MEXICAN MIRROR (A border artist reflects on the new “post-national Mexicans,” their bittersweet relationship with "homeland,"and their role in the forming of a virtual nation inside the U.S. called “Latinoamerica del Norte.”) By: Guillermo Gómez-Peña I I left Mexico City in 1978 to study art in California, “the land of the future” as my lost generation saw it. Too young to be a hipiteca and too old to be a punketo, I was a 22-year old interstitial rebel, a writer and artist who couldn’t find space to breathe in the suffocating official culture of Mexico. There, the art and literary cartels were structured in an ecclesiastical fashion, accountable to one untouchable capo. He was the archbishop and final arbiter of what was acceptable as “high culture” and “Mexican-ness,” Don Octavio Paz. In those days, identity in Mexico was a static construct, intricately connected to national territory and language. A Mexican was someone who lived in Mexico and who spoke Spanish like a Mexican. Punto. There weren’t many alternative ways of being Mexican. Despite the fact that we came in all shapes, colors, and even races, mestizaje (the mixed race), was the official dictum and master narrative. Whether we liked it or not, we were the bastard children of Hernan Cortez and La Malinche, product of a colonial rape and a cultural cesarean, eternally condemned to come to terms with this historical trauma. The millions of indios, the original proto-Mexicans, were portrayed as living in a parallel (and mythical) time and space outside our history and society.

  • PEATONALIZACIÓN DE LA CALLE MADERO DEL CENTRO HISTÓRICO DE LA CIUDAD DE MÉXICO Análisis Del Cambio En El Ámbito Comercial
    PEATONALIZACIÓN DE LA CALLE MADERO DEL CENTRO HISTÓRICO DE LA CIUDAD DE MÉXICO Análisis del cambio en el ámbito comercial Clara ORTEGA GARCÍA Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana. Unidad Azcapotzalco Directora: Mtra. Ma. del Carmen Bernárdez de la Granja Mail: [email protected] RESUMEN Existe en la Ciudad de México, como en otros lugares, una tendencia que ha protagonizado las revitalizaciones de espacios públicos realizadas en los últimos años, se trata de la peatonalización de calles o avenidas. Dicho tipo de intervención es, definitivamente impactante en cuanto que modifica determinantemente el uso y percepción del espacio. La constante insistencia por la necesidad de revitalizar el Centro Histórico de la Ciudad de México ha provocado, además de una evidente transformación de imagen urbana, otras mutaciones en el espacio urbano, cambios muy evidentes de carácter social, espacial y económico principalmente. Lo que aquí se presenta, es un análisis de éste tipo de intervención, realizada en la calle Francisco I. Madero, arteria vital del centro histórico, que cerró el tránsito vehicular en 2010 para priorizar el acceso exclusivamente peatonal al centro de la ciudad; los impactos generados a partir de éste suceso, principalmente en el ámbito comercial. Palabras clave: Centro Histórico, Revitalización, Peatonalización ABSTRACT In Mexico City exists a trend, as in other places, that has played a main role in the revitalization of public spaces in recent years: the pedestrianisation of streets or avenues. Such an intervention has an important impact since it crucially modifies the use and perception of space. Constant insistence for the need to revitalize Mexico City's Historic Center has caused, in addition to a clear transformation of urban image, other important mutations in the urban space, mainly of social, spatial and economic nature.

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.
