Les pouvoirs intermédiaires et la construction de l'Etat mexicain. Les jefes políticos de l'état du Yucatán (1878-1902) / Intermediary powers and state building in Mexico. The jefes politicos in the state of Yucatán (1878-1902)

Brondino, Laura 29 November 2010 (has links)
La présente recherche étudie le déploiement de la domination hiérarchique de l’Etat mexicain dans ses espaces territoriaux au niveau local. Elle se concentre sur le cas de l’état fédéré du Yucatán. Dans l’ordonnancement politico-administratif des états fédérés du Mexique, on insère progressivement une figure intermédiaire entre le gouverneur et les municipalités, le jefe político, insertion parachevée dans le dernier quart du XIXème siècle. Celui-ci est, d’une part, l’agent de l’autorité étatique au niveau départemental (partidos) et, d’autre part, l’intermédiaire formel entre l’exécutif, les municipalités et la société, caisse de résonance des demandes locales. La bipolarité de la charge et sa nature foncièrement relationnelle permettent d’examiner l’imbrication, plutôt que l’opposition entre déploiement étatique et réalités non étatiques dans la construction de l’Etat mexicain au niveau local, afin d’élucider la spécificité de cet Etat et d’expliciter les mécanismes par lesquels le régime porfirien a pu se pérenniser en s’adaptant aux réalités socio-politiques existantes tout en les mettant à son service. / This research studies the establishment of the hierarchical power of the Mexican State in its territories on the local scale. It focuses on the case study of the federated state of Yucatán. An intermediary civil official, the jefe político is introduced step by step between the governor and the municipal powers, this institution is achieved during the last quarter of the 19th century. He is, on the one hand, the agent of the state authority in the partidos (districts) and, on the other hand, the official intermediary between the executive power, the municipal authorities and the society, as the voice of the local requests. This double-acting office, essentially based on public relations, enables us to analyze the imbrications rather than the contrasts between the State establishment and the non-state powers in the Mexican State building, in order to clear up the specific character of the Mexican State and to explain the mechanisms by which the porfirian government could last in time by adapting to the existent socio-political actors and by using them into its service.

Quotidian Catastrophes in the Modern City: Fire Hazards and Risk in Mexico's Capital, 1860-1910

Alexander, Anna Rose January 2012 (has links)
During the last half of the nineteenth century, Mexico City residents started to experience an increase in the frequency and intensity of fires. Residents cited the presence of fossil fuels, the introduction of large factories and electrical apparatuses, and the growing population density as the primary reasons that urban fires became more prevalent. Fire hazards acted as catalysts for social change in Mexico's capital. They created a ripple effect across society, altering everything from city planning to medical advancements to business endeavors, shaping the ways that people experienced a period of significant urban growth. Fire forced people to adjust the ways that they lived their lives, the ways that they conducted business, and the ways that they thought about their city. Rather than looking at one great fire, this study contributes to a growing branch of disaster studies that examines the effects of much smaller, but far more frequent hazards. By drawing on the experiences of residents from different social groups (business owners, firemen, engineers, city officials, entrepreneurs, insurance agents, and physicians), this study shows how residents reacted differently to fire and how they feared and coped with the nearly constant presence of risk. Prevailing historiography of this time period in Mexico is often characterized by studies of the top-down projects of the dictator Porfirio Diaz, but this project shows how social actors collectively transformed their city in response to an environmental threat.

A country in need of American instruction : The U.S. mission to shape and transform Mexico, 1848-1911

Ridge, Michael Allen, Jr. 01 July 2012 (has links)
This dissertation examines U.S. views of Mexico from the end of the U.S.-Mexico War in 1848, to the end of the first phase of the Mexican Revolution in May 1911. During this period numerous Americans saw Mexico as a laboratory to test their ability to transform a country seemingly in need of guidance. Americans, however, struggled to define the role of the United States: whether it was solely to be a model for other nations to follow, or whether Americans should be actively involved in this process. In the years after the U.S. Civil War, a diverse group of Americans, especially missionaries, investors, and working-class activists, saw Mexico as a nation in need of change and sought to affect its transformation through the means of informal imperialism. Yet they vigorously disagreed whether this transformation should occur in religious, political, economic or social terms. Despite these differences, they all believed that Mexico could be reshaped in the image of the United States. Their views thus provided a powerful counter-narrative to persistent U.S. images of the Mexican people as irredeemable because of allegedly inherent inferiorities based on race, religion or culture. The dissertation also examines the role of Mexican actors in attracting, resisting and altering U.S. informal imperialism. These Mexican actors included government officials who petitioned for U.S. assistance during the French Intervention (1862-67) and the Porfiriato (1876-1911); dissident Catholic priests who requested aid for the fledgling Protestant movement in Mexico; and Mexican liberal exiles from the repressive Díaz regime, who sought U.S. support in bringing a democratic government to Mexico. More generally this dissertation challenges scholarly assessments of the United States as an isolationist nation during the mid-to-late nineteenth century, before the embrace of formal empire after the War of 1898. Though different groups of Americans would come to divergent conclusions about the foreign policy of the United States, a close analysis of U.S. efforts to reshape Mexico reveals an outward-looking and internationalist public that took seriously its self-image as a nation destined to transform the world.

Dada a diversidade étnica, linguística e histórica do período, a investigação buscou compreender como a educação, especialmente através dos manuais escolares, auxiliou a construir uma memória comum e assentar as bases de um projeto de cidadania para o México, na virada do século XIX para o XX. Foram analisados seis manuais escolares que faziam parte de um projeto unificador, fruto da Reforma Educativa ocorrida no período. A escolha desses manuais deveu-se à sua importância no período, à sua repercussão em anos posteriores e ao papel social de seus autores. A pesquisa, dentro do campo da História Cultural, pretendeu discutir qual era o cidadão mexicano tido como "ideal" a partir desta Reforma Educativa, quais heróis foram eleitores como símbolos mexicanos (e quais deveriam ser calados), quais os usos políticos e simbólicos dessas figuras e como elas representavam o México que o intelectuais porfiristas pretenderam construir / Abstract: This research attemped to discuss how the production of Mexican scholars' books, during Porfirio Díaz government (1876-1911), helped to contructed the past representation of the country. Given the ethnic, linguistic and historical diversity in this period, the investigation tried to understand how the education, specially through the scholars' books, helped to develop a commom memory and lay the foundations os a citizenship project to Mexico, at the turn of nineteenth to the twentieth. There were analysed six scholars' books that were part os an unifying project, fruit of the Educative Reform ocurried in this period. The choice of these textbooks was due to its importance in this period, its repercussion in later years and the social role of its authors. The research, inside the camp of Cultural History, intended to discuss which was the Mexican citizen thought like "ideal" as from this Educative Reform, which heroes were elected like Mexican symbols (and which others should be silent), which were the political and symbolical uses of there figures and how they represented the Mexico that the Porifian intelectuals intended to construct / Mestrado / Historia Cultural / Mestra em História
