| Resumo: | To add to the knowledge of the instances of production, circulation and reception of printed matter in the Hispanic American sphere of the 19th century and limiting myself to the Mexican space, I have studied how the political theme was a relevant factor for the configuration of certain popular literary genres. This is notable in the case of the calaveras, which are a satirical poetic form in the current Mexican literary tradition. Here I present the study of the calaveras of political themes produced by the printing press of Antonio Vanegas Arroyo between 1880 and 1917, arguing that they are key materials to understand the splendor and decline of the calaveras as an editorial form. I propose a classification of the calaveras into five categories, based on the way in which the political theme was intertwined with death as a literary artifice and on the consequences that it had on the satirical tone and the critical intention of the discourse. |
