description This article shows how the Mexican Revolution, between 1910 and 1917, was interpreted, as regards social aspects, in Colombia. This means showinq the beliefs that were created in three specific points: the social causes of the revolution, its social leaders, in particular Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata, and the people in arms. In the last two, pejorative images of the revolution are observed, with the objective of delegitimizing any grievance of the popular sectors. The interpretation and images elaborated about the revolution, in Colombia, were a consequence of the fear of its spreading and of the bad example it set, and therefore, it is observed that the revolution was seen, mainly, as a confrontation where massacres, destruction and pillage ruled.

El artículo muestra cómo fue interpretada, en cuanto a aspectos sociales, la Revolución Mexicana en Colombia, entre 1910 y 1917. Esto significa mostrar los imaginarios que se crearon en el país en tres puntos específicos: las causas sociales de la Revolución; los líderes sociales de la misma, esencialmente Pancho Villa y Emiliano Zapata; y el pueblo en armas. En los dos últimos se observan las imágenes peyorativas que se construyeron sobre la Revolución, esto con el objeto de deslegitimar cualquier reivindicación de los sectores populares. Las interpretaciones e imágenes que se elaboraron sobre la Revolución en Colombia lo fueron por miedo al contagio y al mal ejemplo, por ello se observa que la Revolución fue vista, mayoritariamente, como una confrontación en donde reinaban la matanza, la destrucción y el pillaje.   Cet article montre comment les aspects sociaux de la Révolution mexicaine ont été interprétés en Colombie entre 1910 et 1917. Cela nous fait revenir sur les imaginaires qui ont été créés en Colombie, et que l’on peut associer à trois point spécifiques: les causes sociales de la Révolution; ses leaders sociaux (notamment Pancho Villa et Emiliano Zapata); et le peuple en armes. À ce propos, on voit des images méprisantes sur la Révolution qui visaient à rendre illégitime toute revendication des secteurs populaires. Les interprétations et les images qui ont été élaborées sur la Révolution en Colombie étaient fondées sur la peur de la contagion et du mauvais exemple, et c’est pourquoi on voit que la Révolution a été vue notamment comme une confrontation dominée par le carnage, la destruction et le pillage.
