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 rooting? In an attempt for answering these questions, I investigate in the leagues between the monster, the hysterical and modernity, in this way, while I open the teratology speech to the problem of race, I put in the center of the discourses about hysteria and mental illness the question about the person. Without these two questions it is not possible to understand today the modernity that we endure. |
