Healthy and Working children. The Postrevolutionary Teatro Guinol and the Construction of Mexican Childhood


Por: Sosenski, S

Publicada: 1 ene 2010
Resumen:
This article explores some plays of the Mexican postrevolutionary puppet play project, and the discourses that such plays used to construct a new type of citizenship and childhood. Considering two main discourses, work and hygiene, the puppet theater is analyzed as a form of didactic politics, ideological transference, and as means of propaganda for the regime. It also points out some possible results in the government's intentions of transforming children into a bridge between the State and the Mexican families.
