Los seminarios de El Colegio de México y su presencia periodística en la discusión de la Segunda Guerra Mundial (1943-1944) Guzman Anguiano, Francisco Joel Intelectuales Segunda Guerra Mundial Prensa México El Colegio de México Intellectuals World War II Press Mexico El Colegio de México This paper seeks to understand the journalistic coverage of academic institutions and their spaces in the public discussion of World War II in the Mexican context of the first half of the 1940s. To this end, we examine the case of El Colegio de México and its Collective Seminars on the War and Latin America, specialized discussion initiatives held between 1943 and 1944. Set in a context of political tension due to Mexico’s entry into the global conflict, the debate about the war, and the institutionalization of the social sciences, this article explores how these projects and their journalistic coverage helped various intellectuals and public officials close to El Colegio de México seek to strengthen their position in the country’s public and political sphere. Based on the analysis of the journalistic coverage that was carried out on the seminars, we seek to understand how the position of the actors participating in these spaces was sought to be legitimized, in addition to presenting a series of criticisms to other groups in power. El presente trabajo busca comprender la cobertura periodística de las instituciones académicas y sus espacios en la discusión pública de la Segunda Guerra Mundial en el contexto mexicano de la primera mitad de la década de 1940. Para ello, se retoma el caso de El Colegio de México y sus Seminarios Colectivos de la Guerra y de América Latina, iniciativas de discusión especializada realizadas entre 1943 y 1944. Insertos en un contexto de tensión política por la entrada de México al conflicto mundial, el debate acerca de la guerra y la institucionalización de las ciencias sociales, el artículo indaga en la forma en que estos proyectos y su cobertura periodística sirvieron para que distintos intelectuales y funcionarios públicos cercanos a El Colegio de México buscaran afianzar su posición en la esfera pública y política del país. A partir del análisis de la cobertura mediática que se realizó sobre los seminarios, se ahonda en cómo se buscó legitimar la posición de los actores partícipes de estos espacios, además de presentar una serie de críticas a otros grupos en el poder.

This paper seeks to understand the journalistic coverage of academic institutions and their spaces in the public discussion of World War II in the Mexican context of the first half of the 1940s. To this end, we examine the case of El Colegio de México and its Collective Seminars on the War and Latin America, specialized discussion initiatives held between 1943 and 1944. Set in a context of political tension due to Mexico’s entry into the global conflict, the debate about the war, and the institutionalization of the social sciences, this article explores how these projects and their journalistic coverage helped various intellectuals and public officials close to El Colegio de México seek to strengthen their position in the country’s public and political sphere.
