10032. TRADITIONALISM VS. MODERNISM IN PORFIRIAN MEXICO. This essay explores the clash between traditionalism and modernism in Porfirian Mexico. Evidence and examples are drawn from William H. Beezley's social history of the era, Judas at the Jockey Club. Following in the steps of French historian Ferdinand Braudel, Beezley examines the "ordinary aspects of life" -- sports and recreation, work and jobs, and ceremony and celebrations -- to illustrate the extent to which the two main segments of Mexican society (los de arriba [the elite] and los de abajo [the underclass]) came to represent two different, contradictory cultures. 5p. 7f 1b.   $35
