MEJIA GALEANA, Edgar. Manuel Gutiérrez Nájera Travel Chronicles and the Cartographic Discourse in the Porfirian Era. Latinoamérica [online]. 2012, n.55, pp.101-128. ISSN 2448-6914.
This article examines the travel chronicles written by Manuel Gutiérrez Nájera between 1880 and 1893 in the context of the physical and discursive reorganization of the national space promoted by the Porfirian elite. From this point of view, the accounts by Nájera negotiate their legitimacy as a discourse about space -lost in part by the increasing institutionalization of cartography and the massive growth of travel- by strengthening the notion promoted by Porfirian geographical institutions of Mexico as a modern and open nation, integrated to the hegemonic centers of capitalist modernity.
