| Summary: | The recent studies that focused on the historical process of national identitys construction
in Mexico have not emphasized enough one approach: the social representation of
territory. This paper explores this topic in the XIXth century Mexico intending to demonstrate
how the sense of belonging and the attachment to motherland reduce the imagined
nation to the limits of the central lands, the ancient Mesoamerica, excluding of the national
social representations the vast north through symbolic stigmatization contrasting with the
core (centre) of the country full of geosymbols and posed as a privileged source for
historical memory. |
