CHAVEZ MARTINEZ, José de Jesús. Innocent drawings?: Graphic-symbolic manifestation by university students on their desks. Comun. soc [online]. 2015, n.24, pp.265-293. ISSN 0188-252X.

Drawings made by students on classroom desks, assigned to groups of Communication Sciences at the Universidad de Occidente in Culiacan, are analyzed in this paper. A sample of figures and compositions that refer to objects, people or concepts was chosen. The concepts of culture, organizational culture, symbol, graffiti, iconic object and semiotic function were used to problematize and analyze drawings. Categories and inferences show a particular reality that students deal with in Sinaloa.
