Entre la esquina y el callejón, el imposible silencio y la incomoda palabra. La ciudad de Puebla de finales del siglo XIX a las primeras décadas del siglo XX

Abstract

Silence is not part of the city life, as noises, gestures, shouting, and words, fill her spaces. It is between silence and gesture that life goes on. Stay silent is a sign of civilization, whilst noise, coming out from spoken words, is an annoying inconvenient. At this time, in the urban life of the city of Puebla, different social groups came together in an undetermined manner. The screams and conflicts have not a specific location, as it is from all over the city that we observe the manifestations of bad behavior. This all happens in a city where the corner, the square, and the alley are everyday life spaces.
