| description | This article explores the powerful influence of sexuality and gender roles in controlling national identity and nationalism. Thus, the purpose is to review the common origin of the Mexican nation and how women, throughouthistory, have contributed to it. The article is organized into three sections. The first identifies the main types of nationalism in Mexico and their interrelationshipwith the gender roles and nationalisms as raised by Floya Anthias and Nira Yuval-Davis in 1989. The second highlights how both nationalism and gender roles contribute to the construction of masculinity and femininity. The third explores gender roles and their different levels of subordination in contemporarynationalist mythology, particularly the myth of mestizaje (miscegenation) as the founding couple of the modern nation. To exemplify the argument, some unconventional sources were used, such as the popular calendars of thefirst decades of the twentieth century, and a narrative on the myth of mestizaje written by a Spanish writer who lived in Mexico in 1884. |

Este artículo explora la poderosa influencia de la sexualidad y los roles de género en la identidad nacional y el nacionalismo. Por lo anterior el objetivo del artículo es revisar cómo es concebido el origen común de la nación mexicana, y cómo contribuyen a él las mujeres en la historia. El artículo incluye tres partes. La primera identifica los principales tipos de nacionalismo en México y su interrelación con los roles de género y los nacionalismos que plantearan Nira Yuval-Davis y Floya Anthias en 1989. La segunda desarrolla de qué forma, tanto los tipos de nacionalismos como los roles de género, coadyuvan a la construcción de la masculinidad y la feminidad. La tercera explora los roles de género y sus distintos niveles de subordinación en la mitología nacionalista contemporánea, particularmente, el mito del mestizaje en tanto pareja fundadora de la nación moderna. Para ejemplificar el argumento se utilizaron algunas fuentes no convencionales, tales como los calendarios populares de las primeras décadas del siglo veinte, y una narrativa sobre el mito del mestizaje escrito por una escritora española radicada en México en 1884. 2019-03-01 2022-03-22T18:11:50Z 2022-03-22T18:11:50Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://www.culturayrs.unam.mx/index.php/CRS/article/view/641 10.28965/2019-26-03 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/89020 spa http://www.culturayrs.unam.mx/index.php/CRS/article/view/641/pdf http://www.culturayrs.unam.mx/index.php/CRS/article/view/641/860 http://www.culturayrs.unam.mx/index.php/CRS/article/downloadSuppFile/641/180 http://www.culturayrs.unam.mx/index.php/CRS/article/downloadSuppFile/641/181 http://www.culturayrs.unam.mx/index.php/CRS/article/downloadSuppFile/641/182 Copyright (c) 2019 Natividad Gutiérrez Chong https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ application/pdf application/xml México Cultura y Representaciones Sociales Cultura y Representaciones Sociales; Vol. 13, Núm. 26 (2019); 40-61 ISSN 2007-8110 |
