Chiapas moderno y mexicano: normalizar el deporte tras la Revolución mexicana, 1910-1940 = Modern and Mexican Chiapas: Normalizing sport after the Mexican Revolution, 1910-1940

Abstract

A partir de la Revolucion mexicana, las instituciones creadas o reorganizadas por los gobiernos posrevolucionarios tienen, entre otros muchos retos, extenderse en lugares fisicamente alejados de la capital del poder politico, la Ciudad de Mexico. Otro de sus objetivos era construir el discurso sobre la nueva nacion que rompia con el pasado y que, entre cuyos objetivos, se encontraba la normalizacion de la ciudadania a traves de su regeneracion fisica y moral. Normalizacion donde la educacion fisica y el deporte se convertian en parte de las campanas de higienizacion social desplegadas por todo el pais. De esta manera, el territorio chiapaneco se incorporo a la institucionalizacion de la Revolucion mexicana y, dentro de ese proceso, las actividades fisicas se impulsaron e incrementaron desde los gobiernos posrevolucionarios chiapanecos y, tambien, desde las elites de la sociedad civil, muchas de ellas participes de los nuevos gobiernos e instituciones locales chiapanecas. Abstract Since the Mexican Revolution, the institutions created or reorganized by the post-revolutionary governments have, among many other challenges, spread in places physically far from the capital of political power, Mexico City. Another of its objectives was to build the discourse on the new nation that broke with the past and that, among its objectives, was the normalization of citizenship through its physical and moral regeneration. Standardization where physical education and sport became part of the social sanitation campaigns deployed throughout the country. In this way, the territory of Chiapas was incorporated into the institutionalization of the Mexican Revolution and, within that process, physical activities were promoted and increased from the post-revolutionary governments of Chiapas and also, from the elites of civil society, many of them participants of the new governments and local institutions.
