1910 and Latin America Amauta, Mariátegui and The Mexican Revolution

Abstract

We try to carry out an essay referred to the intervention Amauta magazine brought, with Mariátegui as director, to the Marxist tradition. It induced to rethink the “collective political action” and the various figures that may acquire in its liberation process, in particular from the debate of the “Mexican Revolution”. We analyze it based on two items: the historical forms of power and the political hegemony.

Regarding the former, we show the arguments of the Mexican revolution importance as founding myth for Latin America, creating a period of radical transformation after a longone of domination.
On the other hand, the Mexican Revolution , requires an interpretation of the second item: political hegemony. Because the historical difficulties crossing the revolutionary processes, where it plays its consolidation as a new hegemonic order, are a chapter often skipped by Marxism. And the close monitoring between 1926 and 1930, that made ??Amauta and its director, of the Mexican Revolution, is an untold document of the problem. You can rebuild in it the conception of the content and the forms assumed, or should assumed in Aztec territory, socialist societies. As well understand the relevance of revolutionary Mexico had on the organizations culture that were growing in the stormy twenties decade. We believe, it has great relevance to rebuild political and epistemological tools that can allow us to think our currently continent.
