THE AESTHETIC FABRICATION OF JESÚS JIMÉNEZ ZAMORA (19TH, 20TH AND 21ST CENTURIES)

Abstract

This article analyses the historical figure of the president of Costa Rica, Jesús Jiménez Zamora (Cartago, June 18, 1823-February 12, 1897) from the point of view of his aesthetic fabrication, in the middle of the xix Century and the beginning of the xx Century. The image of Jesús Jiménez has been studied, in detail, through the historical data of Costa Rica, considering his personality as well as his performance as a politician (President of Costa Rica during 1863-1866 and 1868-1870). This is what marks that the objective of this research has to do with his plastic representations, as well as his life as a youngster and then as a senior citizen. At the same time, it will also include his rhetorical representations as a moral and nationalistic person, from the point of view of some intellectual members through Costa Rica’s historical data.
