          Abstract

          El fenómeno social del "narco" como fenómeno histórico, experimentado, visto y sobre todo vivido por una población, particularmente la sinaloense, es la trama fundamental que se teje en el presente ensayo, en el que destacan las peculiaridades de la gesta, el derrotero, el crecimiento y el fortalecimiento de lo que denominamos como "narcocultura". Desde los años "mozos" del cultivo de enervantes en el territorio "nodriza" de las drogas ilícitas en México, se empezarían a forjar y ampliar las configuraciones culturales e ideológicas en torno de lo que es hoy una actividad delictiva tan poderosa, que ha puesto en jaque no sólo al gobierno, sino a la sociedad y las instituciones. Este es un recorrido sobre la realidad, la efervescencia y el "mito" sociocultural del narcotráfico.

          Translated abstract

          The social phenomenon of "drug trafficker" as a historical phenomenon experienced, observed and actually lived by a population, and in particular by the inhabitants of Sinaloa, is the fundamental theme of this text which outlines the peculiarities of the deeds, the course, the growth and the strengthening of what we call the "narco culture". The early days cultivating drugs within the 'soft' context of illicit drugs in Mexico, provided a base for strengthening and expanding the cultural and ideological configurations around what it is nowadays a criminal and powerful activity, which has put in a predicament not only the government, but also the institutions and society. This text provides a tour of the reality, the effervescence and the sociocultural "myth" of drug trafficking.
