| Summary: | This paper pretends to identify, from an approach to daily night life inMexico City in the late Nineteenth century, the urban and architecturalelements which were transformed with the advent of electric lighting. This technological development modified mentalities and traditions which had been virtually unaltered during centuries. Although most urban ideas associated with darkness remained, social patterns changed supported by a new modern city, illuminated with new equipments and devises, all of which created a new way of perceiving the night. |
