CARDENAS, Tanius Karam. Discursive Mechanisms in Mexican ''Corridos''. anagramas rumbos sentidos comun. [online]. 2013, vol.12, n.23, pp.21-41. ISSN 1692-2522.

This article is a first approach to the forms of linguistic and audiovisual representation of lyrics of the commonly known ''movimiento alterado'' (altered movement) or ''corrido alterado'' which shows a new modality of the Mexican ''narco-corrido.'' For this purpose, a revision of the concept narco-culture in Mexico has been made; the article includes a summary of the presence of the ''corridor'' in popular culture and its double mutation, first into ''narco-corrido'' and then the well known ''corridor alterado.'' Second part of the article is a description and an analysis of two of the main video clips of this ''altered movement'' of the ''corrido.'' Finally, the article exhibits an analysis of a video performed by ''Komander'' (''Mafia Nueva'') where a characterization of the new ''Mafioso'' is made. The analysis is supported by several semiotic and pragmatic aspects applied to the lyrics, the music, and the narrative translation of the video clip.

Palavras-chave : Violence; ''corrido''; narco-culture; speech; semiotics; video clip.
