Intellectuals And Mexican Satirical Literature Of The Twentieth Century
Resumen del Libro
This dissertation studies the representation of Mexican intellectuals in three twentieth-century satirical texts: Satira (1970) by Salvador Novo, Memorias de Espana 1937 (1992) by Elena Garro, and El miedo a los animates (1995) by Enrique Sema. By analyzing these texts, I explore the formation and functioning of intellectual elites in Mexico, particularly during transitional periods when conflicts between the artistic, the political, and the socioeconomic orders were taking place. These works exhibit a wide range of internal positions, interests, and influences among intellectuals vis-a-vis Mexicos cultural and political establishment.
