| Sumario: | On April 22, 1992, nine explosions destroyed a neighborhood populated by workingclasses in Guadalajara (Mexico). Casualties included 210 people killed and many wounded. Through a textual and narrative analysis of 160 articles published in the local press, this research analyzes the narratives that the journalists crafted to commemorate this catastrophe. The article explains how narratives were highly influenced by a religious discourse, and how journalists used the concept of “space” and “body” to explain the explosion’s aftermaths. |
