Resumen

Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar las representaciones discursivas de “las yucatecas” presentes en el periódico literario el Museo Yucateco (1841–1842), como parte de las ficciones fundacionales de la identidad yucateca que fueron configuradas por la élite criolla de Yucatán, cuanto esta entidad era independiente de la nación mexicana a mediados del siglo XIX. Se observará que esta construcción de la identidad regional se basa en un discurso nacionalista apropiado por la ideología regionalista y que posee en una estructura patriarcal de carácter binario, la cual imagina las identidades políticas de modo iconizado (lo público y lo privado) y modela el poder del sujeto masculino sobre el femenino como parte de su búsqueda de una hegemonía política y simbólica.

Abstract

Abstract

This article analyzes the discursive representations of “the Yucatecan woman” present in the literary newspaper the Museo Yucateco (1841–1842), as part of the foundational fictions of Yucatecan identity that were configured by the Yucatecan elite, when Yucatán was independent of the Mexican nation in the mid-nineteenth century. This construction of regional identity is based on a nationalist discourse appropriated by regionalist ideology. It has a patriarchal, binary structure that imagines political identities in an iconized way (the public and the private) and models the power of the male subject over the female as part of his search for political and symbolic hegemony.
