Abstract

From a study of the "archeology of the media" in the production of artistic imaginaries, the interest in recovering from the pages of the Modern Magazine of Mexico the story “En el lago Pátzcuaro" by Rubén M. Campos is to show how the railroad impacted the production of artistic stories in an effort to recount the poetic experience of the journey through the national territory. The railroad, as an artifact that produces looks, would bring with it a process of aesthetic transformation for the production of visual reproductions in the literary press of the Mexican turn of the century. It's specifically interesting to show this story as an example of how the technologies of the gaze, photography and illustrations, enable the appearance of hybrid proposals for the representation of the travel experience, an aspect that appears linked to the development of the railway as a means of communication and transportation.
