  • Luisangel García Yeladaqui

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo identificar las representaciones sociales en torno a "lo negro" que estuvieron presentes en la escena teatral de Mérida, Yucatán, durante las primeras décadas del siglo xxThe role of the black man, the black professor or the mulatto woman was incarnated in actors and actresses playing the role of the negrito, the black professor or the mulatto woman. Likewise, these representations transcended the theater to also appear in stories of popular characters, carnivals and advertising. For these purposes, one of the main means of communication of the time was consulted: the newspaper. Through the search, compilation and analysis of these newspaper sources, we found images that circulated in different cultural spaces of the city, so the analysis of visual sources was fundamental.
