Sex and Love in Porfirian Mexico City
Sex and Love in Porfirian Mexico City: A Social History of Working-Class Courtship, by Michael Matthews, University of Florida Press, 2025
El Diablito Rojo, el Centenario y la clase obrera en la encrucijada de discursos
Mediante el análisis detallado de uno de los periódicos obreros más notables del Porfiriato, El Diablito Rojo, veremos cómo fueron criticados los planes porfiristas para el Centenario, que tenían el mismo afán monumentalista de la época. A través de los editoriales y, sobre todo, de las portadas –en varias ocasiones eran litografías del renombrado artista José Guadalupe Posada–, esta publicación promovió otra visión de México. El periódico se imp…
Let the Atrocious Images Haunt Us
The last twenty years have seen a proliferation of documentaries and films dealing with the ongoing humanitarian crisis at the Mexico-US border, some of which portray the migrant body. This article examines three films routinely included in ethnic studies courses, anthropology courses, and Latin American studies courses: Dan DeVivo and Joseph Mathew's Crossing Arizona (2006), Rebecca Cammisa's Which Way Home (2009), and Marc Silver's Who Is Dayan…
“Trabajador sin ser esclavo
En este ensayo se indagará sobre la dimensión subjetiva de las prácticas laborales y las aporías legales durante el Porfiriato. Recurriendo al concepto de la biopolítica ‒tal y como lo desarrolló Michel Foucault‒, matizaremos nuestro conocimiento del liberalismo mexicano de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, en particular durante el Porfiriato, una época en la que se concedieron ciertas libertades y, simultáneamente, se generaron otras formas de sub…
Language Invaders, Dirty Words, and Insalubrious Neologisms in Porfirian Mexico’s Conservative Press
Este artículo explora una muestra del clima discursivo en torno al conservadurismo en el México porfiriano. Se analizan las estrategias que se activaban para poder destacar la carga política del lenguaje, de los diccionarios y, en particular, de los neologismos. Irónicamente, los conservadores del porfiriato emplearon el lenguaje científico (asociado tradicionalmente con el pensamiento liberal) para posicionarse mejor en una disputa cultural. Por…

Books in Review of language, resist “facile contrasts,” and yet “recognize the role opposition plays in constructing meaning.” Kurt Heinzelman University of Texas, Austin Antonio Ortuño Olinka Mexico City. Planeta. 2019. 248 pages. In 2015 the Independent reported that the United States Treasury Department had sanctioned more businesses for money laundering in Guadalajara—our southern neighbor’s second-largest city—than any other place in Mexico.…
Fish Soup by Margarita García Robayo
for science, we have artists dispassionately utilizing those parts for art. The attempt to connect the two falls flat. At one point we discover that a “modern-day” character is in fact related to Quintana. An artist wants to build a system of guillotines based on plans he’s found from the old sanatorium. It feels, paradoxically, simultaneously like being fed a cliché and not quite getting what the book is trying to say. With clear prose, dark hum…
Out of the Classroom Maze
This article examines Octavio Paz’s canonical study of Mexican identity, El laberinto de la soledad, against the backdrop of the current political environment in the United States; it interrogates how we can make Paz’s rich, ambitious text meaningful for today’s undergraduates. How can we teach El laberinto de la soledad in a way that advances, rather than impedes, cultural awareness? Ultimately, I elaborate a scholarly and pedagogically valid in…
ParÃs D.F by Roberto Wong
Vu Tran. Dragonfish. New York. W.W. Norton. 2015. isbn 9780393077803. When someone who holds a reputation as a literary writer publishes a crime novel, mystery writers grimace. Too often the novel originated in a misbegotten quest for the imaginary fortune that crime writers make. Too often the elements are handled wrong. Too often in condescending to the genre, the writer intends to “improve” it but totally mucks it up. Vu Tran has been building…
