Notas para una cartografía nocturna de la ciudad de México

Abstract

Night at México City, understood as a modern cultural construction, supposes an entangled mesh in which senses and symbols of oral, written and electronic images converge. We will start with some theoretical notes about the modern view of darkness and thus the urban night. Afterwards, we will present its vehicles of written and oral meaning as well as its symbolization, and the electronic images of the nineties. Finally, we will describe in detail some of its practices and representations.
