| Résumé: | This article presents a literary chronology of the official version of the October 2nd, 1968 massacre of student protestors in Mexico City. It analyzes a group of governmental texts that attempted to control the negative effects of the massacre of students on the collective imagination. These texts constitute an authoritarian prose and include conferences, chronicles, novels and libels that attempted to both convince and confuse their readers. Identifying problems, repetitions and variations, this article examines their conceptions of society and the crisis, as well as the effects of the massacre on society.
