Casi no se ha prestado atención al intento del avilacamachismo por redefinir y reestructurar las relaciones entre la cultura y el Estado en los años cuarenta. El valor de este estudio se ubica en una nueva interpretación del sexenio en que se intentó crear un nuevo nacionalismo cultural basado en los medios masivos y enraizado en la lealtad a los personajes mexicanos que encarnaban la experiencia de su historia en los artefactos de su creatividad.

En su libro La Noche de Tlatelolco, Elena Poniatowska presenta una masacre cometida por el gobierno en la Plaza de las Tres Culturas el 2 de octubre de 1968, hecho que divide la historia de la segunda mitad del siglo XX. El movimiento estudiantil de 1968 y la masacre de manifestantes constituyen una crisis política y social en la historia mexicana contemporánea. En esta tesis se confronta el texto de Poniatowska con otros documentos recientes, combinando la historia, la política y la literatura. Para el análisis se utilizan perspectivas de modernismo y feminismo, entre otras. También se propone una nueva visión sobre la generación de 1968 y su influencia en las nuevas generaciones en la búsqueda de un México libre, justo y humano.

The amount of coverage the media dedicate to climate change, along with how they frame the issue, can influence audience awareness, perception, and understanding of climate change. These aspects of climate change coverage have varied among countries, and few studies have analyzed coverage by Mexican media. This study analyzed 1047 climate change stories published by the Mexican newspaper El Universal from 2007 and through 2015. Three research questions were addressed: (1) If the amount of climate change coverage in El Universal varied over time, with what events, if any, did these changes appear to be associated? (2) What frames has El Universal used in its stories about climate change? (3) If El Universal attributed information to specific sources, what sources did it identify? Stories analyzed were identified and accessed through the LexisNexis database.
