Abstract

GAMBOA VALLES, Jesús Manuel. Adaptation and Legitimation: the Use of Historical Material in Elena Garro’s Felipe Ángeles. Lit. mex [online]. 2019, vol.30, n.1, pp.67-88. ISSN 2448-8216.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.litmex.30.1.2019.1159.

The theme of this article is the use of historical material in the drama Felipe Ángeles, and the way in which this piece has contributed to the legitimation of certain historical facets of the leader. The analysis is developed in three parts: the first is to recover the many images of the dictator, printed on historiographical works, the press and some literary works of that time; the next is a panoramic review of his writing process and, finally, the third deals with the political theatricality displayed in summary judgment, through correspondence and differences with the original shorthand text.

Keywords : Politics; Historical drama; Legitimation; Mexican Revolution.
