This paper provides a novel perspective by emphasizing the significance of ritual in the national public sphere, and the relationship between ritual, rumor and the dialectics of state expansion in Mexico. It considers the historical development of political regions in Mexico; outlines the development of local public and national public spheres; then discusses the role of ritual in Mexican political geography. The author provides theoretical and methodological innovations, clarifying the connection between political ritual and the constitution of political communities in the national space
