Wed, Dec 31, 1969

In this program, a group of writers dazzled by the conflicts of modernity, passionately experimented with language resources with the purpose of entering the fields of fantasy, imagination and exploration of the occult. In the midst of the Porfirio Diaz' dictatorship, those poets and prose writers enjoyed an amazing freedom to work, as well as the means of subsistence that allowed them to write; however, none of them could anticipate that the rumblings of popular protests would soon destroy that peace and order that sheltered them for years.

Wed, Dec 31, 1969

At the beginning of the second decade of the 20th century, something unprecedented happened in Mexico: the intellectual class fought against democracy. Through a corrosive and freedom murderous press, poets and writers opposed the courageous and idealistic project of Francisco I. Madero. This opposition had fatal consequences for the incipient Mexican democracy. After the murder of Madero, the Revolution bloodied the country and expelled poets and intellectuals and those who decided not to escape, were condemned to live in solitude the hardships of war, but even in those long years of confusion, Mexican writers managed to create memorable works.

S21.E7 ∙ Generaciones de la literatura mexicana 1900 - 1950. Capítulo IV, Los Contemporáneos (1921 - 1934)

Wed, Dec 31, 1969

In the 1920s, a handful of young people confronted nationalism proposing a cosmopolitan literature with a universal input against the Mexican Revolution; this unleashed one of the most intense cultural wars in the history of Mexican literature. Although they were known as the generation of the "Contemporáneos" (Contemporaries), their members saw themselves as a group without a group, an archipelago of solitude, a band of outlaws who, with their profound critical rigor, gave birth to Mexican modern literature.

Wed, Dec 31, 1969

The Second World War, the Spanish exile and the institutionalization of the Revolution sealed the course of the 1940s. Apparently, this was a time of economic prosperity, which was reflected, among other things, in the bonanza of the film industry that was determined to consolidate a mystified idea of the Mexican, however it was the literary disenchantment that marked this period. The deep reflections and criticism made by this generation, opened the way to modernity in the narrative, the theater and the arts in general.

Wed, Dec 31, 1969

Throughout the 20th century, the cultural values of Jalisco became those of all of Mexico, while elements of identity such as the charro, the mariachi and tequila evoked the name of our country in the world.

S21.E12 ∙ ¡Que vivan los estudiantes del 68!

Wed, Sep 26, 2018

Between the months of July and October of 1968, an student movement changed the modern history of Mexico. If, as has been said, the Mexican '68 movement was much more than the massacre that occurred on October 2 of that year, our program supports that approach with the personal testimonies of those young boys who, fifty years later, remember themselves as participants in what they call "the party of '68" and not merely of its' "tragedy". Supported by numerous interviews made especially for this documentary, the richness of Clio's historical archive is added to the variety of voices, which has allowed the incorporation of key actors of the '68 movement that are already deceased as: Heberto Castillo, Roberta Avendaño, Raúl Álvarez Garín, Luis González de Alba and Roberto Escudero, among others.

S21.E15 ∙ La democracia en México. Capítulo 1. Las batallas por la democracia (1967-2018)

Wed, Oct 17, 2018

During most part of the 20th century, the claim of Mexicans for political freedom did not find an echo in a state that rejected opposition. When the authoritarianism of the regime reached its greatest hardening, the fight against a system that concentrated power in a single party and in one man was strengthened. In this fight, the citizens proposed the ballot box and dialogue, at the same time that a brave intellectual conscience opted for democratic ideology and criticism as a counterweight to power. With great civic battles the effectiveness of the vote of the Mexicans was thus won. However, the democracy in Mexico faces another enormous challenge today: the construction of a citizenship that is vigilant of the actions of the government and defender of the civic rights and liberties that took so many years to conquer.

S21.E17 ∙ El notario en la vida nacional

Wed, Oct 31, 2018

500 years ago, at the beginning of the Spanish conquest of Mexico, the notaries -then called scribes-, contributed to the ordering of public life, attesting to the most significant acts in the lives of men and their institutions. Today, supported by knowledge of law and new technologies, but above all in their legal and moral solvency, Mexican notaries face a unique challenge: to adapt those values of efficiency and professionalism to the complexity of the modern world.

S21.E18 ∙ Veracruz 500 años. La ciudad de coral (1519 - 1911) 1ra parte.

Wed, Nov 07, 2018

In April of 1519, the Spanish captain Hernán Cortés founded with his men an imaginary villa in front of the islet of San Juan de Ulúa, in a solitary beach where it seemed impossible to build anything. From such an arduous foundation, Veracruz coexisted with adversities, coping with them in some cases and confronting them directly in others. The inclement heat and the furious north winds, the deadly epidemics, the pirate attacks and foreign interventions shook the port many times without ever defeating it and without taking from the "jarochos" its proverbial joy. Thus, over the invention of the conqueror, the most important port in Mexico was built of sea stone -the famous "piedra muca"-, creating a singular, multi-ethnic city rich in cultural traditions.

S21.E19 ∙ Veracruz 500 años. La ciudad de coral (1911 - 2018) 2da parte.

Wed, Nov 14, 2018

At the beginning of the 1930s, Veracruz had already suffered an opprobrious military occupation, followed by a social crisis caused by the shortage of popular housing. From then on, that double wound would begin to heal and the festive character of the "jarocho", would be known throughout Mexico, through its crowded beaches, its modern hotels, its singers and great athletes, its dance halls and its splendid carnival. Nearly 500 years after its foundation, Veracruz is still the beautiful city built in sea stone, but it is also a metropolis in constant transformation, whose port expansion is leading Veracruz towards recovering the condition it always had: being the most important port in Mexico.

Wed, Nov 21, 2018

500 years ago the arrival of Hernán Cortés to Mesoamerica, had the impact of a cataclysm. His army, formed by a little over 400 soldiers was the first of a series of attacks, which would transform the cultures that inhabited what we now call Mexico. The languages and literatures of these peoples were confronted, threatened and forbidden; ancient myths and forms of consciousness changed skin to face the great course of Christian and Renaissance traditions.

S21.E21 ∙ Generaciones de la literatura mexicana. Del México prehispánico al siglo XIX. Capítulo 2. Inimitables plumas del virreinato

Wed, Nov 28, 2018

The 17th century was for Nueva España a period of economic and social realignment. The great epidemics had diminished the already Christianized indigenous population and the attraction for the great wealth of Peru, decreased the arrival of Spaniards to these lands. The society of Nueva España began to consolidate itself in strata well defined by the economic position and the ethnic Indian, Spanish or mestizo ethnicity. The baroque, more a way of seeing the world, than an artistic style, surrounded the life of that emergent and complex society. In this context, central figures such as Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora and Juan Ruiz de Alarcón emerged, all of them representatives of the "criollo" culture that was already outlined.

S21.E24 ∙ Generaciones de la literatura mexicana. Del México prehispánico al siglo XIX. Capítulo 5. Entre el Romanticismo y el Modernismo, las letras mexicanas en el porfiriato.

Wed, Dec 19, 2018

After the triumph of the Republic over the Empire of Maximiliano in 1867, Mexico experienced a period of relative calm, during which the government fostered art and intellectual work, and created institutions designed to consolidate the national identity. The aesthetic search took different courses: on one hand, a narrative with a social approach emerged; on the other, modernism appeared to become the great literary movement of the 19th century.
