RAMIREZ HURTADO, Luciano. Newspaper Cartoons and the Sovereign Revolutionary Convention. The Case of Eugenio Olvera in La Guacamaya, an Illustrated Weekly Newspaper with a Changing Political Position. Secuencia [online]. 2009, n.73, pp.141-178. ISSN 2395-8464.  https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i73.1068.

The text seeks to show the changing political position of the editor of the La Guacamaya journal, in his struggle to survive and adapt to the new situations in the country, caused by the ups and downs of the revolutionary factions that came to power. The paper stresses the analysis of the images of press cartoons, bearing in mind the context and use made of them by newspapers, according to their political interests of the moment, published on the covers of this popular weekly illustrated newspaper in Mexico City, on one of the key stages of Mexico's revolutionary process: the Sovereign Revolutionary Convention of 1914. It also seeks to prove that some of the visual formulae used by cartoonist Eugenio Olvera Medina are drawn from the archetypes created by 19th century political cartoons, which were enriched by new visual sources of inspiration resulting from the Revolution itself, whereby they become more synthetic, with less visual saturation.
