| Resumo: | This article analyzes the commemorations honoring Cuauhtemoc that were held in Mexico City every August 21st beginning in 1887 and continuing up until the end of the Porfiriato in 1910, studying both their ritual aspect — as they were public celebrations held in the city’s streets— as well as their discursive meaning. This second aspect is examined in terms of its press coverage, which allows us to observe how this date became part of Mexico’s historic memory, as well as which issues in the country’s political life referred back to Cuauhtemoc and his time and the interpretations these were given by different political and social actors. |
