This article analyses the presence of the military man in the journalistic and literary work of the Mexican José Joaquín Fernández de Lizardi (1776-1827). Firstly, it offers a contextualization of the military structure in the transition between colonial and independent periods in Mexico; and its link with the general regulation of the army state in the Spain of the Enlightenment. Following, the essay –which is part of a more extensive study of the social models in the work of Lizardi– revises the image of the military man (soldiers, officials, militiamen) taking into account the exemplary and non-exemplary features in the author’s novels, journalistic articles and other texts.
