The interest of this study has different directions. On the one hand, it is of interest to make known the story “En el lago Pátzcuaro” by Rubén M. Campos (1876-1945) in light of the material study of the Revista Moderna de México, specifically within its contexts of publication and edition; At the same time, it is of interest to show this narration as a result of the technological impact of the new means of representation and reproduction of images, such as photography and the cinematograph. Likewise, in the rise and desire for progress, the railroad, as a technological means, also played a very important role in shaping the ways of looking at and representing the national landscape and the modern “self”. So that the recovered text is shown as an example of aesthetic renewal and hybridization in literature from the reflection of the gaze conditioned and modified by various technological artifacts.
