Abstract
This paper discusses the phenomenon of Mexican cultural identity and the transformation
of their concepts in the last hundred years, and theoretically defines postulates that form
the basis for further research in the internal grant project (UEP). After providing a brief
outline of the historical evolution of Mexican cultural development, the text analyses some
partial views of various Mexican intelectuals, essayists and novelists (A. Reyes, J. Vasconcelos,
O. Paz, C. Fuentes, C. Monsiváis) who attempt to reflect the complicated nature of
Mexican identity, which has been the subject of permanent interest since the emergence of
an independent state in the 19th century. The aim of the text is primarily to approximate
the Czech public process of complex cultural layering, which is a source of enriching diversity
and problematic inconsistencies as the background for transforming the world in the context
of current globalization efforts.
