Research article published in Ixaya. Revista Universitaria de Desarrollo Social. Analyzes signature graffiti (tags and throw-ups) in Guadalajara's urban space under the theoretical premise of graffiti as an autonomous, alternative communication circuit facing institutional hegemony.
The article critically examines the moral and clean-city narratives of local newspapers that criminalize youth signatures, contrasting them with the visibility and territorial tactics writers employ on public walls. It uses a structured corpus of press articles analyzed with corpus linguistics tools to quantify semantic collocations associated with urban stigma.
