Guadalajara vista desde la calzada: fronteras culturales e imaginarios urbanos
Guadalajara seen from La Calzada: cultural boundaries and urban imaginaries.This article analyses the way in which diverse urban imaginaries struggle for providing Guadalajara with an identity starting from the physical and symbolical conquering of La Calzada Independencia. A case study was elected regarding public controversy a r o u n d dancing places —"danceterias"— which show La Calzada as a physical-symbolical reference that has been imposed as a legitimate mirror in which the city can be seen and perceived. However, La Calzada hasal so been a zone where cultural diversity takes place and allows us to discover a contrasting society in continuous transformation: the place where being different becomes a daily struggle.

The construction of new spoken sources is set forth as a necessary and unpostponable resource in order to create an increased plural vision and perhaps less polyphonic of what it is and has been to live and to make the city of Mexico. This work also deals with the topics and reasons of local remembrances and its performance within the present neighbourhood; it also presents material concerning a traditional urban location.
