| Sumario: | Masculinities and feminities are changing constantly. During Porfiriato (1876-1911) and with its modernization period, the ideas of what makes male a man changed and aimed to refined, neat and tidy, and well-mannered men. These new ways to be a man were confronted and combined with the 'macho' stereotype. In this paper, through actor’s images and narratives, are analyzed how the ideals of a "porfiriano modern man" were created (clean, polite, hardworking and good father) and how these ideals had a profound impact on the masculinities of a men working group in Guadalajara, the tramways workers, who represented a key to the development of the city. |
