Spanish term
modelos culturales que funcionaron como elemento referencial e integrador
Spanish to English
Social Sciences
History
From a text to introduce an art exhibit that will include Mexican vintage calendar art, with references to the Mexican Revolution.
Objetivos de la exposición:
-- Transmitir los modelos culturales que funcionaron como elemento referencial e integrador de la sociedad mexicana entre los años treinta y setenta del siglo XX.
Los modelos culturales de los que hablan son los calendarios llamados "cromos", cromolitografías con bonitas ilustraciones que adornaban los almanaques que distintas tiendas regalaban a sus clientes. Estos almanaques se convirtieron en arte para las clases medias y bajas, adornaban las paredes de los hogares y negocios con sus imágenes típicas del lugar o de personas. La mayoría de las ilustraciones eran del ideal de la mujer mexicana.
Para "transmitir" estaba considerando "pass on" o "disseminate".
Gracias a todos.

Presentation of cultural models.....element.
This is how I would handle "transmitir" here.

I think that nouns seem more natural in such a list than verbs in either the infinitive or imperative form.

Upon reflection, I think that "served" would work better here than "functioned."
Suerte.

Note from asker:
| Thank you for your prompt response Robert. Do you have a preference for the verb "transmitir"? |
| My next line begins with "Presentar la utilidad de la cromolitografía", so I was trying to avoid "presentar". All my bullet points start with an infinitive, so I was looking for a verb. |
| So you would turn all those infinitives into nouns? |
