Abstract

Following some initial remarks on the development of chronicles as a genre, the present essay proposes reading three texts whose bonding elements is the rhetoric of travel:"El cinematógrafo" (1896), by the Mexican writer Olavo Bilac, and "En el cine" (1913), by the Mexican writer Ramón López Velarde. The chronicles bear witness to the impact caused by the new spectacle and the perception of it as an illusory journey to the double of the real (Urbina), of an accelerated and condensed journey to spaces, times, cultures and social environments (Bilac), and of a programmed and fabricated journey animed at the stratification of the audience (López Velarde).
