| description | After the 1910 Revolution, Mexico adopted in its discourse an assimilation policy in which the mestizo was transformed into the official historical leading character thereby conceiving a single way of being Mexican. This paper aims to show how the “Maya” was, and has been used, in the construction of Yucatecan regionalism and how this regionalism is a response to the national homogenizing project. Yucatecan regionalism has been accompanied by a pride that is nourished by an ambivalent relationship with “the Maya” (admiration and disdain) and a marked distance from the political center of the country and its mestizo discourse. It is also shown how both, nationalism and regionalism, use the same resources to shape identities and how these are transformed over time. |

Regionalismo, nacionalismo, Yucatán, mayas, mestizo After the 1910 Revolution, Mexico adopted in its discourse an assimilation policy in which the mestizo was transformed into the official historical leading character thereby conceiving a single way of being Mexican. This paper aims to show how the “Maya” was, and has been used, in the construction of Yucatecan regionalism and how this regionalism is a response to the national homogenizing project. Yucatecan regionalism has been accompanied by a pride that is nourished by an ambivalent relationship with “the Maya” (admiration and disdain) and a marked distance from the political center of the country and its mestizo discourse. It is also shown how both, nationalism and regionalism, use the same resources to shape identities and how these are transformed over time. Después de la Revolución de 1910 México adoptó, en el discurso, una política asimilacionista en la cual el mestizo se transformó en el protagonista oficial de la historia, planteando con ello una sola forma de ser mexicano. Este trabajo busca mostrar cómo “lo maya” fue y ha sido utilizado para construir el regionalismo yucateco, y cómo este regionalismo es una respuesta al proyecto homogenizador nacional. El regionalismo yucateco ha ido acompañado de un orgullo que se nutre de una relación ambivalente con “lo maya” (admiración y desprecio) y de una marcada distancia con el centro político del país y su discurso mestizante. También quiero dar cuenta de cómo, tanto el nacionalismo como el regionalismo, utilizan los mismos recursos para conformar identidades y cómo éstas se van transformando en el tiempo. 2019-03-01 2022-03-22T18:11:48Z 2022-03-22T18:11:48Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://www.culturayrs.unam.mx/index.php/CRS/article/view/636 10.28965/2019-26-02 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/88985 spa http://www.culturayrs.unam.mx/index.php/CRS/article/view/636/pdf http://www.culturayrs.unam.mx/index.php/CRS/article/view/636/859 Copyright (c) 2019 Eugenia Iturriaga Acevedo https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ application/pdf application/xml México, Yucatán Cultura y Representaciones Sociales Cultura y Representaciones Sociales; Vol. 13, Núm. 26 (2019); 16-39 ISSN 2007-8110 |
