RAMOS ESCOBAR, Norma. Children Who Wrote and Illustrated Newspapers: An Approach to Scholastic Production in Post-revolutionary Schools in Nuevo León. Relac. Estud. hist. soc. [online]. 2012, vol.33, n.132, pp.53-94. ISSN 2448-7554.

This essay analyzes the role of girls and boys as subjects capable of agency and participation in everyday school processes. Specifically, it explores how they understood the school and lived and represented it as reflected in narrations and illustrations they elaborated for three school newspapers: Zoolomecatl (1926-1928), El Lápiz Infantil ("The Child’s Pencil", 1928) and La Flecha Certera ("The Well-Aimed Arrow", 1929). These sources lead us to reflect on scholastic products in an attempt to perceive how those children participated as builders and promoters of discourses that fomented a regional identity in the Mexican state of Nuevo León, and how those discourses intersected with, or were superimposed upon, the projects of the post-revolutionary nationalist school.

Keywords : childhood; scholastic periods; representations; identity; post-revolution.
