Résumé
The aim of this paper is to establish a link between the code-switching in Junot Díaz’s works and some formal resources of graffiti artists –in particular their emblematic tags. These elements are taken attesting to a battle of the discursive sort being waged in the frontier lands of North America, as well as globally in the contact zones between cultures.
