| Abstract | |
In the year 2000, PRI (Partido Revolucionario Institucional) lost its first presidential election in Mexico since 1929. The rise of PAN (Partido Acción Nacional) broke decades of a political dominance that was associated, in recent years, with authoritarianism, economic backwardness and an obstacle to democracy in the country. However, the PRI's defeat in 2000 must be analyzed in the light of the economic, political, social, and cultural transformations that have taken place in Mexico since the 1980s at least. The Mexican intellectual field and its subjects allow us to take a different approach to this national political scenario since they used their numerous places of enunciation to take positions, analyze and comment on the transformations set in motion. Our objective here is to investigate how the discourses produced and circulated in that moment were central to symbolic constructions around themes such as national identity, modernization, democracy, globalization, among others, and were part of a neoliberal political project. Discussions around NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement), signed in 1994, promoted the production and circulation of notions, ideas, and conceptions in cultural magazines that serve as means to political action by Mexican intellectuals. Based on a methodology of political and intellectual history, this study proposes to explore intellectual practices around political discourse, as well as to understand the role of these historical subjects in the context of the Mexican democratic transition at that time (AU) | |
