Resumen
Descripción
En América latina las ciudades que se consideran
como Cunas de la Patria son un elemento fundamental en los procesos de construcción nacional
porque se convierten en soportes de un mito patriótico que, a su vez, las transforma en santuarios cívicos del nacionalismo. Esto sucede con la
ciudad de Dolores Hidalgo, que es considerada
oficialmente como la Cuna de la Independencia
Nacional de México y, como tal, es uno de los
principales referentes identitarios territoriales
del nacionalismo mexicano.
Así, a medida que el Estado mexicano revalora
y enaltece al cura Miguel Hidalgo como “Padre
de la Patria”, de manera análoga la ciudad de
Dolores Hidalgo se presenta como el lugar de
origen de la nación mexicana. Pero esta condición no sólo ha provocado que esta ciudad haya
perdido su pasado urbano virreinal, sino que también la ha enfrentado con otras poblaciones que
desean erigirse en cuna de la nación mexicana,
como ha sucedido con las ciudades de México,
Santiago de Querétaro, Iguala y Acatempan
In Latin America the cities that are estimated as Fatherland´s Cradles are a key element in the process of nation building because they become holders of a patriotic myth that, in turn, transforms them into civic sanctuaries of nationalism. As with the city of Dolores Hidalgo, which is officially considered as the Cradle of National Independence of Mexico and, as such, is one of the main territorial identity references of Mexican nationalism. As the Mexican government revalues and exalts the priest Miguel Hidalgo as “Father of the Nation”, analogous Dolores Hidalgo is presented as the place of origin of the Mexican nation. But this condition has not only meant that this city has lost its colonial urban past but also faced with other cities wishing to establish itself as the Cradle of the Mexican nation, as has happened with the cities of Mexico, Santiago de Queretaro, Iguala and Acatempan
