| Sumario: | In the mid-nineteenth century, both Spaniards and Mexicans tried to overcome some ancient stereotypes in order to initiate new processes of national and identity construction. Trying to understand how that process was, how they did it, and what symbols they used to counteract that past, this work seeks to study through the press – specifically in La América – the emergence and transmission of the national connections and identities that were developed within Spain and Mexico in the mid-1800s.The press contributed to the evolution of national identities based on previous discourses and stereotypes. Newspapers and magazines expressed their points and ideas through different types of texts: travel articles, portraits of historical figures, historical articles, articles of customs or monuments, and so on. Thanks to this, the press consolidated itself as a mediator of the different collective approaches, analyzing the reality and the context of those years, creating networks of participation among various social sectors and, ultimately, building opinion. La América offered an alternative discourse to the official position of the Spanish government and crown in relation to the new Mexican politics of the mid-nineteenth century. |
