Abstract

This essay aims to study the media trajectory of the male characters linked to drug trafficking in Mexico, and the configuration of imagery around style and fashion through different channels, including the transmedial displacement of the news about captures, as well as the acts of charity promoted by their relatives. We discuss how the creation-configuration of characters clad in a “heroic” halo, which is part of the figuration and influence in popular culture, contributes to the deactivation of the stereotypical hegemonic narrative of the figure of “the narco”.
