This work proposes to analyze and describe three particular forms of construction of the national
space in the Mexican historical miniseries Gritos de muerte y libertad. Under the pretext of commemorating 200 years of Mexican independence in 2010, Televisa opted to build a narrative about
the national heroes who participated in the War of Independence. On this historiographical perspective on the birth of the nation, the production revealed ways of articulating the person within
time and space. Visual and auditory resources allowed assembling a cartography of the natio-
nal, as well as different metaphors in which the historical moment is linked with the space of its
representation. Understanding space as a narrative construction, the work describes three spatial
forms in the miniseries: the space of the national,
the private space as a reflection of the nation and
space as a scenario of heroism
