Embodying the Cross
The iconic photograph of Miguel Agustín Pro, arms outstretched in a cruciform pose moments before his execution by firing squad on November 23, 1927, has transcended its origins as a tool of state propaganda to become a cornerstone of Catholic memorialization in Mexico. Captured during the Cristero War—a period of intense conflict between the Catholic Church and the postrevolutionary Mexican government—this image was intended to intimidate Cathol…
R obert W eis . For Christ and Country
Why did José de León Toral kill Álvaro Obregón? In 1928, the then president-elect was assassinated in a Mexico City restaurant while celebrating his victory in the July general elections of that year. Weis delves deep into the cultural underpinnings of Catholic activism in the 1920s to find an answer to the so-often-asked question. In doing so, he provides readers with the proper context for understanding the postrevolutionary Catholic anxieties …

The “metric turn” is shaping human rights knowledge, governance and politics globally. This article seeks to contribute to the emergent analysis of numbers in human rights matters from a Latin American perspective. We explore a phenomenon that is hard to count; the number of victims of forced disappearance –persons who are kidnapped and murdered, and whose bodies are disposed of. And we study it in three contexts of political institutional violen…

This article examines two commemorative projects on 20th-century Jesuit martyrs turned into Internet tours. A comparison between the official online tour of the Father Pro Museum in Mexico City, and two unofficial tours through the Martyrs Memorial Hall at the José Simeón Cañas Central American University in San Salvador, El Salvador, suggests paradoxes regarding a museum's online representation and ways in which violence and martyrdom are repres…
The Nicolaitan Martyrs

It focuses on the conditions under which a martyr becomes pivotal to social mobilization, as well as the historical reasons that explain secular martyrdoms as social phenomena Los Mártires Nicolaítas: Martirio Secular, Movilización Social y Anticomunismo en México, 1949 Resumo: Utilizando el caso de los “mártires nicolaít…
La humanidad de los mártires. Notas para el estudio sociohistórico del martirio

En este tenor, el martirio es interpretado como un espacio de identificación entre las esferas religiosa y política que desafía las distinciones tradicionales del pensamiento político moderno.El martirio es analizado como un f…
