Abstract

Founding moments of nations seem intrinsically significant. Nevertheless commemorations of the Bicentennial of Mexico Independence and the Centennial of Mexican Revolution will show that the meanings of such events are constructed on the basis of contemporary politics. The article analizes which dimensions of that political past are malleable (and to what extent) and which are relatively fixed (as inserted in myths, but also in institutional legacies).
