Abstract

In this work, we propose that the Mexican comic Minuet (2016), represents an image of music marked by Romanticism (18th-19th century), where the musical phenomenon oscillates between the psychological and magic, by representing the musician with characteristics romantic in an urban setting. It is not about the representation of the musician imbued with a melancholic (Renaissance) personality, where the death of a loved one triggers madness in his susceptible personality.

We adhere to the paradigm of indexical inferences raised from microhistory by Carlo Ginzburg (1939-), in which the details are key to understand complex sociocultural and historical realities. Among the authors that support this research, we find Tanenbaum (1995) and Domínguez Prieto (2010), with their analyzes of public transport systems. On the subject of romanticism and music, we work with Nassif Schoeder (2004), Kertz-Wesel (2005), and Galí Boadella (1995), for romanticism in Mexico.
