Secrets in the Nahui Olin Divorce

Abstract

The document explains some elements of the processes of subjectivation of Carmen Mondragon and Manuel Rodriguez by analyzing the history of the judicial nullity of their marriage in 1922. For the first time in historiography it is verified, with documentary sources, that the couple tried to process a divorce volunteer who was denied. It analyzes how the personalities of both artists were not always rebellious, but for a decade, they were subjected to the patriarchal authority of General Manuel Mondragon. The text also proposes to link some elements of their respective artistic works with the emotional impact they experienced during the nullity of their marriage.
