Abstract

This essay traces the ideological tensions underlying the short story «Luvina» by Juan Rul- fo, which portrays the secularizing legacy of the Mexican Revolution at loggerheads with the ruined landscape of the Hispanic colonial project symbolized by the Catholic church. Originally from a Cristero family in Jalisco, Rulfo dennounced the legacy of destruction of the Cristero rebellion and the story «Luvina» demonstrates his ability to stage the resulting political cynicism on both sides of the war: the defeated teacher and the abandoned (dis)believers.
