Creative project and cultural field: some examples in The Novel of the Mexican Revolution.

Abstract

This work proposes to analyze society as an integrating unit of cultural, political and ideological phenomena, where there are interactivity relationships between one and the other elements, because in this thought there is the premise that there are conditions and limitations that are imposed on each of the parties, thus giving the appearance of a complex network of organisms that work in a hierarchical simultaneity. Namely, there are restrictions that will mediate the great human productions, that is, specifically, the cultural and artistic manifestations, which will result in the appearance of subjects in charge of promoting such manifestations by means of an attraction, let's say magnetic towards the condition, let's call it "riddle apparatus". In this tenor, the criticism around the Mexican Revolution has been questioned, mainly two basic questions: what means the word Revolution as a figure hyperbolized by the state apparatus, and what kind of thought the revolutionary caudillos carried. The second question, it could be said, time has already judged it in its right dimension; the second question (which is the one that concerns us here) is to see how it originated and why it was decided to call it Novel of the Mexican Revolution.
