| Résumé anglais |
Mexican nationalism has attempted to fix identities, firmly entrenched in music and popular dances, transforming them into folklore vignettes based on heterosexual couples —frugal men with strong movements, along with beautiful, smiling women dressed up in colourful dresses—, as the image of the fatherland. Each time that we see the typical Mexican folk ballet postcard, we should remember that, behind those dances and those bodies, lay the country's open wounds. In the following pages, we will dismantle the nationalist framework that implies the use of biological metaphors, such as race and gender. In order to question the staging of popular culture, we propose divergent images and folk cross-dressings, proving that gender is intentional and performative or, in Butler's words, that every gender implies cross-dressing.
