La Ciudad de México en las crónicas de José Joaquín Blanco/Mexico city in José Joaquín Blanco's chronicles

The article analyses the image of Mexico City developed in the Mexican chronicle after the seventies, especially in José Joaquín Blanco texts. It focuses on how the genre faces the reality of a megalopolis which can only be conceived in a fragmentary way and from a multiple viewpoint. Between the utopia and an apocalyptic vision of the city, the chronicle reshapes the urban space and time, and formulates a new critical identity by means of adapting possible places for expression inside the new cities modified by capital.
