“Día de Muertos en México: Cómo el Cine y la Mercadotecnia Internacional Han Revitalizado la Tradición de las Catrinas”

Ing. José María Noriega C.A.S. La integración de la mercadotecnia en las tradiciones culturales, como el Día de Muertos en México, ha demostrado ser un fenómeno fascinante. Esta celebración, rica en simbolismo y significados ancestrales, ha trascendido sus raíces para cautivar al mundo entero. En el corazón de esta evolución se encuentra el trabajo de artistas como José Guadalupe Posada y…

¿SABÍAS QUE LOS MEXICAS NO SE DISFRAZABAN DE CATRINAS?

Los mexicas NO se pintaban los rostros de calaveras ni se disfrazaban de catrinas.

“La Catrina” no proviene de los mexicas. Es una sátira creada por el caricaturista José Guadalupe Posada que en tiempos del juarismo y el porfiriato se burlaba de los mestizos e indígenas que iban subiendo de nivel económico y pretendía ser europeos y renegaban de su propia raza, herencia y cultura. Se les llamaba los “garbanceros”, precisamente por dedicarse al cultivo y venta de garbanzos.

Entonces José Guadalupe Posada, creó “La Calavera Garbancera” para expresar que los garbanceros andaban «...en los huesos, pero con sombrero francés con sus plumas de avestruz».

Diego Rivera la nombró “La Catrina”, de la palabra “catrín”, que definía (a veces de forma despectiva) a la clase social alta, y la eternizó en su mural “Sueño de una tarde dominical en la Alameda Central”, (la calavera con su estola de plumas aparece junto a José Guadalupe Posada, Diego Rivera como niño y Frida Kahlo).

Dia de los Muertos 2024

We commemorate Dia del los Muertos with woodcuts  by the Mexican printmaking satirist José Guadalupe Posada Aguilar (1852-1913) from the 1930 publication Monografía: Las Obras de José Guadalupe Posada, grabador mexicano, edited by American ethnographer Frances Toor (1890-1956), American Mexican artist Paul O'Higgins (1904-1983), and Posada's contemporary and colleague Blas Vanegas Arroyo (1852-1917), with an introduction by the prominent Mexican artist Diego Rivera (1886-1957), published in Mexico City by Mexican Folkways. 

 Calaveras and calacas are closely associated with Day of the Dead celebrations, and this Posada monograph contains many examples.

¿QUE ES LA CATRINA?

La Catrina es un personaje creado por el pintor, ilustrador y caricaturista mexicano de Aguascalientes, José Guadalupe Posada, es la figura que más se asocia al Día de Muertos y a la muerte en general en nuestro país, siendo uno de los iconos con los que México es conocido en el mundo entero. Cabe mencionar que la versión original de La Catrina es un grabado en metal del artista.

La Catrina como símbolo mexicano, su nombre original es “La Calavera Garbancera”, “garbancera” es la palabra con que se conocía entonces a las personas que aun teniendo sangre indígena dejaron de vender maíz para vender garbanzos pretendiendo ser europeos ya fuera españoles o franceses y renegando así de su propia raza, herencia y cultura.

No fue hasta 1947 cuando el muralista Diego Rivera usó a este personaje, dándole el atuendo elegante que hoy en día todos conocemos, bautizándola como "La Catrina", en su mural “Sueño de una tarde dominical en la Alameda Central”.

En la actualidad la figura de "La Catrina" es la imagen más representativa del Día de Muertos y México. Hoy en día es uno de los disfraces y maquillajes más utilizados, dejó de ser un dibujo en papel para convertirse en un elemento de nuestra cultura mexicana totalmente vivo.

"Catrinas" is a dark fantasy, surrealist, and gothic mixed media post-art series.

The Catrinas series vibrantly explores the iconic Mexican Catrina as an interstitial force between the human and the nonhuman. Created by caricaturist José Guadalupe Posada as a critique of society, La Catrina was later reimagined by Diego Rivera, solidifying her status as a beloved icon.

Each piece in this series is titled Catrina, inviting viewers to see her as a timeless archetype that embodies universal death and critiques societal norms. This repetition encourages exploration of identity as an infinite series of differences, questioning the notion of a 'fixed' self and emphasizing La Catrina as a force reflecting mortality and social commentary.

Originally mocking superficiality and class hypocrisy, La Catrina's spirit of satire endures. This series captures that essence and reimagines her in surreal, gothic worlds where the mundane merges with dark fantasy, inviting sensory exploration of difference, mortality, and cultural memory through a uniquely Mexican style.

Guadalupe Victoria:

"His life is absolutely incredible. Successful commander. Absolute menace to the Spanish. Changed his name to show his dedication to Mexican independence. Part of the triumvirate that overthrew Iturbide. The only president in the early years of the Mexican republic to serve his full term. Absolutely incredible."

“An absolutely amazing man, he prohibited the sell and purchase of slaves, founded the National Museum, the only president to finish his term as president in over 35 years of Mexico’s independence.”

“Hay una historia de como defendió al país aun después de muerto. Su último deseo fue que esparcieran sus restos por todo el país que ayudó a construir. Sus órganos internos se quedaron en botellas con aguardiente y vino.

Cuatro años después dos soldados gringos se tomaron las botellas y se ganaron un pase VIP con san Pedro. Por lo que después de muerto Don Guadalupe mató a 2 soldados en defensa de la patria”

José Fructuoso Rivera y Toscan:

a. “THE SMOLDER…THE DARK BROODING EYES….I WOULD DECLARE INDEPENDENCE FROM LIVING FOR HIM”

Stardew Valley but you're at a Mexican Rancho

The Playlist

And here you have it friends, the cursed playlist that started it all. Every time I played the game during my first playthrough, there were some character plotlines or in-game events that reminded me of ranchero, regional mexicano, or banda songs from my country, and the fact that all those songs are linked to the idealized culture of rural areas of my country, and that Stardew is basically a farming game, made sense to my weird neurodivergent brain. So here you go, the playlist and which songs I relate to each character.

The list is ordered as follows:

Song title - Artist

Character/Event I relate the song to and why.

If you have any questions/comments, feel free to jump to the end of this playlist for my Author's Note

WARNING: THIS PLAYLIST DESCRIPTION CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR IN-GAME / HEART EVENTS.

Los Agachados - Maldita Vecindad y los Hijos del 5to Patio

Character/Event: You know when we meet our main character and they are stuck in their routine, in a crowded city working a job that they don't like, 9 to 5? Well that happens too often down here, but in Mexico, for as long as we can remember, all that tediousness is alleviated by hanging out with our buddies and eating with our families or friends. The golden age of Mexican cinema reflects that enduring part of our history. This song is a homage to Tin-Tán Valdez's movies.

2. Mi Ciudad - Guadalupe Trigo

Character/Event: After our MC gets the letter from their Grandpa and has the opportunity to move to Pelican Town, during their bus ride they start to say goodbye to their city, looking forward to the possibilities that the new location offers. It's not that they hate the city, they just needed to grow their roots somewhere else, so the journey is filled with gratitude.

3. Recuérdame - Carlos Rivera

Character/Event: Grandpa's message. Ah, the favorite singer of Mexican moms and abuelas, it was only natural that this song helps MC reminisce about their summers in Pelican Town and their late grandpa. Do I hate that Disney tried to trademark a national tradition? absolutely, but the soundtrack from Coco slaps, especially in Spanish.

4. Árboles de la Barranca - Antonio Aguilar

Character/Event: The Farm. This one is self-explanatory for Spanish speakers. After MC's (now Farmer) arrival on the farm, they look at the condition of everything. "Árboles de la barranca, ¿Por qué no han enverdecido?" (Translation: Trees of the ravine, why haven't you gone green again?) and look at all the work they have ahead of them.

5. Soy de Rancho - El Komander

Character/Event: This is when MC becomes the Farmer. Maybe after their first Spring in Pelican Town or selling their first successful crops, the Farmer is getting the hang of things and are fully taking pride in the progress they've made.

6. La Granja - Los Tigres del Norte

Character/Event: The Community Center / The Barn / Lewis / Joja Co. Los Tigres del Norte are almost ubiquitous in representing Mexican culture all over the world, and it's only natural that this song (one of their hardest critiques to corruption) appears here. After managing to get a barn and their first animals through their hard effort, meeting the Junimos at the community center, and getting tasked by Lewis with the repair of the building, the Farmer begins to think that maybe the city and Pelican Town aren't so different in terms of the lack of care from their representatives. Lewis isn't necessarily bad, he's a nice man who cares about his community... but he has enough money to buy truffle oil and create a golden statue of himself while the community center has been abandoned and JojaMart is messing with local businesses. The problem isn't the lack of resources, but the greed and hunger of a few (which the Tigres del Norte song addresses directly)

Author's Note: Thanks for reading this first part of the playlist and feel free to leave me your comments/questions/asks. In the next post, due to the length of this one, I'll talk more about the other songs in the playlist and what they mean for the universe in my playthrough, especially, the ones I gave to the romanceable characters.

J.G. Posada: Messenger of Mortality

Julian Rothenstein, ed.

Moyer Bell Limited 1989

I think José Guadalupe Posada (1852-1913) may be one of my favorite artists. His work speaks to so many aspects of my own personality—satirical, humorous, populist, absurd, and with a great appreciation for the morbid. So, I think it’s a bit of a crime that there aren’t more books of his work published in this country. It is estimated that over the course of his career he produced over 20,000 images, but, despite that, he died penniless and forgotten. However, it wouldn’t be long after his passing that he would be rediscovered and studied by such artists as Rivera and Kahlo, and then by Europeans such as Eisenstein and the French surrealists. Posada saw and memorialized life as it happened around him—the working people, riots, natural disasters, suicides, murders, and crimes—but it is his calaveras, the skulls used to commemorate the Day of the Dead, which he used to expose hypocrisy and reveal the ultimate absurdity of humanity, that he is best remembered.

¿Conoces la historia de la Catrina?

José Guadalupe Posada es el creador de la conocida calavera “La Catrina”, sin embargo, este no es el nombre original que él diera a su creación, la llamó “Calavera Garbancera”. Debido a que en 1912 se percató de la existencia de un grupo de mujeres mexicanas que aspiraban a ser como las españolas y quienes, al no contar con los recursos para adquirir sus sombreros, ellas mismas los confeccionaban, en muchas ocasiones haciéndolos de mayor tamaño y vistosidad. Por otra parte, habían decidido no comer maíz como acostumbran los mexicanos sino comer garbanzo como los españoles, ante esta realidad Posada se burló de ellas con la “Calavera Garbancera”.

Diego Rivera fue quien la bautizó con el nombre que hoy le damos, esto debido a una investigación publicada en 1920 sobre la vida y obra del grabador nacido en Aguascalientes, a quien admiraba profundamente.

Diego Rivera pintó a la Catrina en un lugar protagónico de su mural 'Sueño de una tarde dominical en la Alameda Central. Además fue Rivera el creador del cuerpo que luce la Catrina, ataviada de un vestido a la moda europea, paseando de la mano de Diego y de José Guadalupe Posada.
