TORRES SAN MARTIN, Patricia. Mexican Silent Film’s Chronicle: Elena Sánchez Valenzuela (1919-1929). Dixit [online]. 2016, vol.24, n.1, pp.70-90. ISSN 1688-3497.

This text aims to rescue and evaluate the Mexican Silent Film´s chronicles published by Elena Sánchez Valenzuela between 1919 and 1929. It does so through an historiographic perspective and as a first approach to the women´s history and the film culture that led to the readers of the newspapers in the Mexican capital of these years. To the women´s history, because the particular case of Sánchez Valenzuela is linked to a career attached to a society in which a patriarchal ideology prevailed. To the silent Mexican´s film history, because it points on the cinema conception as art, spectacle and cultural industry, and to the culture film for better knowing if Sánchez Valenzuela´s work as a cinema chronicler contributed to the audience’s better appreciation of cinema. As a method, this work uses documental research and content analysis

Keywords : historiography; Mexican silent films; cinema chronicle; film culture; Mexican women.
