  • Description: The student movement Mexico '68 (Sesenta-y-ocho) that was active between July and December of 1968 has come to be seen as one of the most important events of the second half of the twentieth century in Mexico, in both public memory and national history. However as this was not always the case, the aim of this article is to analyse the transformations and permanencies in the many accounts that have formed over the last four decades concerning the Mexican summer of 1968, giving attention to four types of narrative: public debates, the specialized historiography on the student movement, books dealing with national history, and the official history. This analysis is intended to show how the 'historical centrality' of 1968 was progressively formed in the national public space and in historiographic discourse. El movimiento estudiantil de México 68 (Sesenta-y-ocho) que tuvo lugar entre julio y diciembre de 1968 se considera como uno de los acontecimientos mas importantes de México en la segunda mitad del siglo XX, tanto desde la memoria pública como desde la historiografía nacional. Sin embargo, como esto no siempre fue así, el objetivo del articulo es analizar las transformaciones y permanencias en las múltiples narraciones que se han creado a lo largo de las últimas cuatro décadas acerca del verano mexicano del 68, dando preeminencia a cuatro narrativas: los debates públicos, la historiografia especializada sobre el movimiento estudiantil, los libros abocados a la historia nacional y la historia oficial. Este análisis busca mostrar cómo se fue conformando la 'centralidad historica' del 68 en el espacio público nacional y en los discursos historiográficos.
