Abstract
In this paper Panorama mexicano, 1890-1910 —written by Ciro B. Ceballos and published in Excélsior (1938-1940)— is 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 —through the construction of an particular literary space—; and, for the journal, as a support strategy in the public discussions about key issues, such as the concept of the Mexican Revolution, the past, and the role of intellectuals in the national reconstruction
