The document discusses analyzing the antihero figure from novels of the Mexican Revolution and how it evolved and was perpetuated through the genre of "corridos," a form of popular Mexican music. The objective is to explore how the antihero's cultural value is manifested in this expression of popular culture. The methodology involves defining the antihero's actions and characteristics from revolution novels, then establishing a corpus of corridos in different categories to analyze through computational methods if the antihero figure survived in Mexican popular culture's social imaginary through corridos. The conclusion may be that the antihero of revolution novels persists in the collective imaginary as portrayed in corridos.
