Figurations of Alterity an Encounter with the Archive
In this work I ponder about the archive based on three images from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries: the drawing of a monster from the Teratology collection of the Museo Nacional de México preserved today in the Biblioteca Nacional de Antropología e Historia; the photography of animals that are part of what was the collection of the Museo de Historia Natural del Chopo and that today protects the Fototeca Nacional; and the copy of…
Breves reflexiones en torno a la historia y los estudios culturales
En un ejercicio interdisciplinario, el objetivo es mirar la historia a través de los estudios culturales y de leer los estudios culturales desde problemáticas que atañen específicamente a la historia. En la primera parte me pregunto así por los efectos de la cultura en la historia analizando el modo como “la historia cultural en México” ha incorporado las propuestas de los estudios culturales, y en la segunda, ya dentro de un ámbito más general, …

Commemorate, consecrate, demolish
This chapter looks at Recursos ideológicos del Estado mexicano: el caso de la arqueología, a paper by Ignacio Rodríguez, in which the author demonstrates, in an almost schematic fashion, the discursive strategy of many texts. It concerns the idea that the museum and scientific discipline are not the same, that the contents of the former are not a mirrored reflection of the discussion that has taken place in the scholarly sphere. The chapter argue…

Dónde están las mujeres de La Castañeda? Una aproximación a los expedientes clínicos del manicomio, 1910
En este ensayo me acerco a los expedientes clínicos de las mujeres diagnosticadas como histéricas del Manicomio General “La Castañeda” en los comienzos del siglo XX y me pregunto ¿qué dicen ellas acerca del médico, de la institución médica, de su propia enfermedad, de sí mismas? A su vez, esta pregunta por la voz de las mujeres me plantea otra de índole metodológica: como historiadores ¿podemos acceder al discurso del otro? Con esas dos interroga…
Introducción al dossier
Hay una interrogante que la disciplina histórica no puede evadir y así, cada vez, en cada investigación, hay que preguntarse si como historiadores podemos acceder al discurso del otro. La dificultad es quizás estructural, pues ¿cómo escuchar a aquellos que en la historia fueron privados de voz? Así titula Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak a uno de sus artículos más difundidos: “¿Pueden hablar los subalternos?”, una pregunta que hoy es objeto de debate n…
Frente a la historia nacional
It seems we all know the meaning of the term “national history”, but in practice this concept of is easily confused with that of “national culture”, and also with the memory of the past. Moreover, to this confusion we should add another one which arises from a double condition: at the same time, “national history” belongs to a collective and to an individual domain; it constitutes a narrative of individual identity insofar it makes us confronts o…
Hysteria and History
El encuentro de un monstruo y una histérica. Una imagen para México en los finales del siglo XIX
In the last decades of the XIX century grew the interest of Mexican physicians for new topics. With avidly, they wanted to know everything that was taking place in Europe. As a part of this hurry to reach the old continent, teratology and hysteria arrived to Mexico. I ask in this essay about the reasons that explain the interest of Mexican doctors precisely in these topics: what was exactly what they looked in them and what allowed his posterior …
From the Uterus to the Brain
Scientific interest in hysteria began in Mexico at the end of the 19th-century, as the medical profession expanded. The Mexican doctors studied madness, drawing on what was confidently regarded as a firm basis of epistemological knowledge. Using modern physiology they entered a discussion that had begun some time before in Europe. Encountering hysteria, an illness presumed to be caused by 'over-civilization', they searched for a universal definit…
