| Sumario: | This article explains the intersection between two historical currents in postrevolutionary Mexico: the imposition of new stereotypes of hegemonic masculinity through the figure of military caciques and the expansion of revolutionary reforms that strengthened individual liberty. These processes came together in the 1918 divorce of Maximino Ávila Camacho and Natalia Binder, studied herein through information from the Historical Archive of the Tribunal of Justice. It should be mentioned that the revolutionary divorce reform ended up giving more liberty to individuals and allowed them to dissolve unhappy marriages, but in the process ended up reinforcing male individuation. Maximino in particular used the new institution of divorce to reinforce his patriarchal authority and impose a disciplinary punishment on his wife. Once again, patriarchal strategies constantly adapt to the historical shifts of each period. |
