Abstract
In this paper the Memoirs, published by José Juan Tablada in El Universal, are analyzed based on the interaction between autobiographical and journalistic discourses. In this context, the autobiographical narrative is examined in its double dimension: for the autobiographer as a discourse used to build his identity as an intellectual who reformed mexican literature; and, for the journal, as a support strategy in the public discussions about key issues, such as the concept of the Mexican revolution or the role of intellectuals in the reconstruction of Nation.
