El escritor mexicano, Carlos Monsiváis, es uno de los intelectuales más reconocidos en la actualidad por su obra como cronista de Ciudad de México, ensayista, analista de medios masivos, crítico sobre la cultura y sociedad en América Latina, y, de manera particular, en México. Este artículo aborda el trabajo periodístico-literario de sus libros de crónicas desde los años setenta hasta los noventa, dentro de lo cual los conceptos de masa, medios masivos, cultura popular son centrales. Estos son atendidos a lo largo del artículo tomando en consideración su postura crítica, sobre todo respecto a la noción de masa. Igualmente se atiende al particular estilo híbrido de su escritura, así como a la importancia que tiene la paradoja como recurso en su labor crítica respecto a las relaciones de poder y al traspaso de fronteras de dicotomías.
