Abstract

MENA ALVAREZ, Aram Alejandro. “El conquistador que danza es un conquistador poco temible”: tres representaciones gráficas del baile durante la Intervención Francesa en México. Culturales [online]. 2022, vol.10, e721.  Epub Apr 17, 2023. ISSN 2448-539X.  https://doi.org/10.22234/recu.20221001.e721.

In the paper, three French lithographs that show scenes of dance during the French Intervention in Mexico are analyzed iconographically and iconotextually: a caricature published by the newspaper Le Charivari and two prints included in a plate of the Nouvelle imagery. The images were contrasted with letters, memoirs, song lyrics, journalistic information, and pictures of illustrated albums, Mexican and foreign, with the aim of exposing some references, speeches, and French graphic languages with which Mexican women and their relations with the foreign troops were identified, represented, and made known.

Keywords : French Intervention; illustrations; dance; iconography; fashion.
