| Résumé anglais |
From the Mexican post-revolution, several speeches have undertaken a mythification of the Revolution, claiming to unify the nation by means of images, heroes and formulae, or trying to establish the features of the Mexican identity. In the second half of the 20th century, historians, anthropologists and fiction writers choose the route of the exploration and discussion of the myth to re-evaluate its importance and meaning in the Mexican identity and the national culture. The representation of the Revolution in the novel takes part of this review and interrogation of the myth. We propose to consider two novels published in the 80s, Gringo viejo, of Carlos Fuentes, and La familia vino del norte, of Silvia Molina, to compare the strategies of discussion of the revolutionary myth, between re-mythification and humanization.
