Title: Cultura visual y fotografía durante la revolución en Sinaloa
Description: This book has as its starting point the beginnings of a modern visual culture, located in the first half of the 19th century and the arrival of photography in Sinaloa. And it is the outbreak of the Mexican Revolution that is the propitious moment for new social actors to appropriate the symbolic space of the studio, affirming their identity from symbolic elements such as the rifle, the sword, the horse. The revolutionary portrait also includes women combatants, who start from their self-representation as contenders, sometimes masculinized conquer a fundamental symbolic place. The author studies the production of local photographers such as Alejandro Zazueta, Alberto Lohn, Mauricio Yáñez y Guillén, who portrayed the revolution in Sinaloa, between 1911 and 1914, with those that have certain regional similarities, such as Romualdo García in Guanajuato and Sara Castrejón in Guerrero, and Jesús Hermenegildo Abitia, and its coverage of the constitutionalist campaign.
