En la cárcel de mujeres se fabrica un "universo femenino" que materializa el performance de género tanto en la organización del espacio como en la del tiempo. Tal universo parece construirse como evidencia empírica de la existencia real de ciertas ideas acerca de la feminidad, que se crea y es puesta en acto en todos los elementos que la componen. Como toda construcción identitaria, esta trata de uniformar a todas las personas en su ámbito. El discurso sobre la criminalidad de las mujeres y su concreción en los espacios penitenciarios participan en la formulación social de la maternidad como construcción de género, la cual a su vez está atravesada y mediatizada por la experiencia ...
The history of Mexico is spoken in the voice of ordinary people. In rhymed verse and mariachi song, in letters of romance and whispered words in the cantina, the heart and soul of a nation is revealed in all its intimacy and authenticity. Mexico in Verse, edited by Stephen Neufeld and Michael Matthews, examines Mexican history through its poetry and music, the spoken and the written word.

With a cast ranging from Pancho Villa to Dolores del Río and Tina Modotti, Constructing the Image of the Mexican Revolution demonstrates the crucial role played by Mexican and foreign visual artists in revolutionizing Mexico's twentieth-century national iconography. Investigating the convergence of cinema, photography, painting, and other graphic arts in this process, Zuzana Pick illuminates how the Mexican Revolution's timeline (1910–1917) corresponds with the emergence of media culture and modernity. Drawing on twelve foundational films from Que Viva Mexico! (1931–1932) to And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself (2003), Pick proposes that cinematic images reflect the image repertoire produced during the revolution, often playing on existing nationalist themes or on folkloric motifs designed for export. Ultimately illustrating the ways in which modernism reinvented existing signifiers of national identity, Constructing the Image of the Mexican Revolution unites historicity, aesthetics, and narrative to enrich our understanding of Mexicanidad.
Esta obra analiza el hecho histórico del acceso de las mujeres a los estudios superiores como resultado de los valores ilustrados y de una lucha más amplia por el reconocimiento de sus derechos civiles en el amplio sentido del término. El libro está compuesto, entonces, tanto de reflexiones de estudios previos de la propia autora como de la revisión de múltiples trabajos y documentos.
