| description | We take up the metaphors of contemporary capitalism in Mexico centered on two disseminated
icons and symbols through political discourse and Mexican mass media. The "tunnels" of
druglorg "Chapo Guzmán" and the "walls" of the current USA president. Donald Trump
symbolically relates to describe the framework of power that these characters wield. In this
paper, we make connections between media and cultural symbols such as the famous “tunnels”
that Mexican drug trafficker were used to transport drugs first, and then to escape from Mexican
prisons, with the idea that the Wall, the visible and invisible walls it has and where it is located.
What counts is not the truth about its construction or its reality, but its political manipulation.
We understand "walls" and "tunnels" as metaphors of contemporary political discourse and
whose images serve to analyze other aspects of the cultural reality of the exercise of (bio) power
within capitalism contemporary. |
