Abstract
What the Porfirian govemment assurned -or, rather, articulated-towards the 1898 Spanish-Cuban-North American war was an imaginary neutrality, for this position suffered multiple schisms. In an uncertain context, the press became a forum for confronting ideas about war developed through texts and images: arguments that were anything but neutral. Evidently, the official neutrality declared emphatically by PorfirioDíaz was violated by both graphic illustrations and their corresponding· articles. These illustrations became a skillful way to represent telegraphic cables, adjusted to the imaginary politicians of Porfirian México.
My essay studies some relevant forms of representing war, representations that after all, were directed to something much more complex than sympathy or aversion towwards Spain or the United States: national identity. For this reason, some even became impassioned representatives of the conflict, turning the press into a battleground, and transferring to México the war that was going on in the Caribbean and the Philíppines. Monarchists or gachupines (Spaniards), republicans, liberals and even anarchists, they all fought their internal war of identities. Mexico City became the stage of a "Mexican '98", where radicalisms, under the excuse and context of the war, built in their newspapers. intestine images of a paradoxical México. According to these sectors, embodied brilliantly in voices such as El Hijo del Ahuizote and El Correo Español, the Mexican government should have assumed a position closely related to the idea of identity claimed by each one of them. That is, the conflict in México adopted the form, among others, of the sharp and unsettled question of the nature and essence of "the national".
