| description | What the Porfirian govemment assurned -or, rather, articulated-towards the 1898 Spanish-Cuban-North American war was an imaginary neutrality, for this position suffered multiple schisms. In an uncertain context, the press became a forum for confronting ideas about war developed through texts and images: arguments that were anything but neutral. Evidently, the official neutrality declared emphatically by PorfirioDíaz was violated by both graphic illustrations and their corresponding· articles. These illustrations became a skillful way to represent telegraphic cables, adjusted to the imaginary politicians of Porfirian México.My essay studies some relevant forms of representing war, representations that after all, were directed to something much more complex than sympathy or aversion towwards Spain or the United States: national identity. For this reason, some even became impassioned representatives of the conflict, turning the press into a battleground, and transferring to México the war that was going on in the Caribbean and the Philíppines. Monarchists or gachupines (Spaniards), republicans, liberals and even anarchists, they all fought their internal war of identities. Mexico City became the stage of a "Mexican '98", where radicalisms, under the excuse and context of the war, built in their newspapers. intestine images of a paradoxical México. According to these sectors, embodied brilliantly in voices such as El Hijo del Ahuizote and El Correo Español, the Mexican government should have assumed a position closely related to the idea of identity claimed by each one of them. That is, the conflict in México adopted the form, among others, of the sharp and unsettled question of the nature and essence of "the national". |

Ante la guerra hispano-cubano-estadounidense de 1898 el régimen porfirista asumió, o mejor, articuló una neutralidad imaginaria, ya que esta postura mostró múltiples fisuras. En un contexto incierto, la prensa sirvió de foro para la confrontación de las ideas que respecto a la guerra se esgrimieron mediante textos e imágenes: argumentos que fueron menos que neutrales. A todas luces, la neutralidad oficial, declarada enérgicamente por Porfirio Díaz, fue violada por la ilustración gráfica así como por los artículos que le acompañaban. En ellos se encontró un campo hábil dónde representar los cables telegráficos, acomodados a los imaginarios políticos del México porfiriano.Este ensayo aborda destacadas formas de representar la guerra. Representaciones en cuyo fondo subyacía un punto más complejo que la simpatía o la antipatía por España y Estados Unidos: la cuestión de la identidad nacional. Por ésta, algunos llegaron incluso a asumir con vehemencia la representación del conflicto, y convirtieron a la prensa en trinchera de combate transfiriendo así a México la guerra que se libraba en el Caribe y en las Filipinas. Monárquicos o agachupinados, republicanos, liberales y hasta anarquistas, hicieron su guerra interna de identidades. Es decir, la capital fue escenano de un 98 mexicano en donde los radicalismos, con el pretexto y el contexto de la guerra, construyeron en sus periódicos, imágenes intestinas de un México paradójico. Para estos sectores, encarnados magistralmente por voces como las de El Hijo del Ahuizote y El Correo Español, la postura que el gobierno de México debía asumir estaba vinculada estrechamente con la idea de la identidad que cada uno de ellos pretendía hacer valer. Es decir, el conflicto en México asumió, entre otras, la forma del puntiagudo y no resuelto asunto sobre la naturaleza y la esencia de "lo nacional".
