    • Abstract:
      En este se artículo se destaca la forma en que la revista National Geographic difundió la imagen de México durante la Revolución mexicana. Sostengo que la revista mantuvo la representación de México que había construido en sus páginas durante los años anteriores como un país pintoresco, rico en recursos y de gran potencial para el desarrollo económico. Esta visión se contrapuso a la corriente imperante en las publicaciones de Estados Unidos de esa época, en las que México se identificaba como un país inestable y de mucha violencia. Asimismo, se hace referencia al tema de la autoría de las fotografías publicadas en esa época y a las estrategias utilizadas para atribuirlas a ciertos fotógrafos. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
    • Abstract:
      This article studies the image of Mexico disseminated by the National Geographic review during the period of the Mexican Revolution. It argues that along this period the magazine reiterated the representation of Mexico constructed previously as a picturesque country, rich in resources, and with great economic potential. This image differed from the predominant visions of Mexico in most publications in the United States, in which Mexico was regarded as an unstable and violent country. Also, the authorship of the photographs published at that time is pointed out, as well as the strategies used to attribute them to certain photographers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
