Abstract
This chapter discusses the works Perfil del hombre y la cultura en Mexico [The Profile of the Man and the Culture in Mexico] by Samuel Ramos (1934) and El laberinto de la soledad [The Labyrinth of Solitude] by Octavio Paz (1950), that are paradigmatic in analyzing machismo in Mexican culture. These works are essential for understanding the critique of machismo as a discourse of modernity and as a condition for constructing the nation in postrevolutionary period. To critique machismo, one must interject upon intellectual discourses (mainly psychoanalysis and philosophical anthropology) as they problematize the relationship between the masculine image and the nation.KeywordsNational IdentityMasculine RoleIntellectual DiscourseMexican CultureRevolutionary PartyThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
