El objetivo de este trabajo es proponer un Modelo holístico multimodal para una lectura crítica del racismo en la prensa escrita. Para ello, desde el Análisis Crítico del Discurso Multimodal (ACDM), usaremos como estrategia teórico-metodológica integradora las aportaciones de Teresa Velázquez (2011) y su modelo semiótico-discursivo; el modelo sociocognitivo de van Dijk (1990, 1997, 2003a, 2003b); el modelo de la semiótica visual de Kress y van Leeuwen (1996) y el modelo intersemiótico de Nikolajeva y Scott (2001). Se validarán las matrices de análisis aplicándolas al llamado conflicto mapuche en Chile para extraer resultados y conclusiones valederas en torno a la representación periodística de las minorías étnicas. Abstract: This work aims to propose a holistic multimodal approach for making critical reading about racism in the written press. In order to achieve this, and taking account the Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis, we use as theoretical and methodological integrative strategies the contributions of Teresa Velázquez and her discursive-semiotic approach (2011), van Dijk’s sociocognitive approach (1990, 1997a, 2003a, 2003b), Kress and van Leeuwen’s visual semiotics approach (1996), and Nikolakeva and Scott’s intersemiotic approach (2001). The analysis matrices are validated using the so-called mapuche conflict in Chile in order to be able to draw conclusive results and conclusions about media representations of ethnic minorities.

Abstract It has been argued that more research is needed on the role of humor in the expression of racism. One reason is that, in the ‘post racial’ society, overt racism has become publicly unacceptable and, therefore, tends to appear in more concealed forms. In this paper, as part of a larger project on media representations of the Roma, we look at the role of humor in a Romanian television news clip reporting on the financial rewards of begging. We draw on the critical scholarship in humor research and carry out a multimodal critical discourse analysis of a news report selected from a larger corpus. We argue that through humor a recontextualisation of the Roma’s situation takes place, transforming their actual situation of poverty and social marginalisation into a humorous account of cultural failure, incompetence, stupidity and calculated money grabbing. We show that humor is one way by which culture becomes represented as embodied by ethnic minorities.

Media representations have significant power to shape opinions and influence public response to communities or groups around the world. This study investigates media representations of Islam and Muslims in the American media, drawing upon an analysis of reports in the New York Times over a 17-year period (from Jan.1, 2000 to Dec. 31, 2016) within the framework of Critical Discourse Analysis. It examines how Islam and Muslims are represented in media coverage and how discursive power is penetrated step by step through such media representations. Most important, it investigates whether Islam and Muslims have been stigmatized through stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination. The findings reveal that the New York Times’ representations of Islam and Muslims are negative and stereotypical: Islam is stereotyped as the unacclimatized outsider and the turmoil maker and Muslims as the negative receiver. The stereotypes contribute to people’s prejudice, such as Islamophobia from the “us” group and fear of the “them” group but do not support a strong conclusion of discrimination.

AbstractWithin the cognitive linguistics literature, many publications have dealt with conceptual metaphors about love and sexual desire (Lakoff 1987; Kövecses 2003; Barcelona 1992, 1995; Emanatian 1995, 1996.) However, a source domain that has not received the attention it merits is that of the hunt. This source domain deserves to be studied not only because of the interest in the conceptual metaphors it generates, but primarily because of the ideology and cultural values behind it. For this reason, applying a combined methodology based on cognitive linguistics and critical discourse analysis (Charteris-Black 2004; Goatly 2007), this article explores the use of the source domain of the hunt for the expression of love and sexual desire in metaphorical linguistic expressions with male hunters and female prey, paying critical attention to discourse and the ideologies about gender that are conveyed.

A modernidade tardia (CHOULIARAKI; FAIRCLOUGH, 1999) trouxe consigo a ascensão dos meios digitais e de novas possibilidades de interação. Com isso, novos gêneros, ou gêneros “reconfigurados”, sustentam os propósitos discursivos e formatam os novos enunciados que nos são disponibilizados todos os dias. Esta modernidade tardia, portanto, nos coloca novos desafios: ser letrados em diferentes linguagens multissemióticas e multimodais (LEMKE, 2010). Diante desse contexto, nosso objetivo é analisar de que forma o letramento digital se manifesta do ponto de vista da leitura, compreensão e produção de textos de alunos de nível avançado e nível iniciante em Língua Inglesa, num programa de ensino de línguas de uma universidade pública. Inseridos no campo de estudos da Linguística Aplicada (MOITA-LOPES, 2006), compreendemos a linguagem como uma manifestação social, dotada de características discursivas, portanto, impossível de ser descolada de seu contexto e de uma real necessidade de estudo. Trata-se, assim, de um trabalho qualitativo-interpretativista (BORTONI-RICARDO, 2008), que pretende demonstrar como os multiletramentos se fazem presentes em salas de aulas de línguas estrangeiras na atual conjuntura em que nos encontramos. Referências:BAKHTIN, Mikhail.

This study analyses news reports of public reactions to the controversial legislators’ monthly/annual income in Nigeria in 2019, which was presumed to far exceed the salaries of legislators worldwide. Data for this study are news and opinion articles published between 2017 and 2019 that represent public response to the salary scandal involving public officers and National Assembly members. Critical discourse analysis is adopted in the analyses of media representations of the main actors in and situations of the scandal. Hence, discursive strategies identified in the resistance discourse of the news media are qualitatively analysed. The study argues that lack of accountability and widespread corruption in the Nigerian political economy is a reflection of weak political institutions, such as those that empower legislators to enrich themselves.

El objetivo central de esta investigación es entender cómo se construye en los diarios de mayor lectura en Chile la representación social de la cultura mapuche. Para ello, estudiaremos el aspecto cognitivo de la dimensión discursiva asociado al control que ejerce la prensa sobre las estructuras de la noticia y que incide fuertemente en la formación de modelos mentales en sus lectores sobre la alteridad étnica. La metodología que utilizaremos proviene del Análisis Crítico del Discurso (ACD) y su vinculación con la teoría del discurso periodístico; la Semiótica Visual de Kress y Van Leeuwen (1996) y la Semiótica greimasiana.The main goal of this research is to understand how the most read newspapers in Chile have established a social representation of the Mapuche culture. For this, the studied topic will be the cognitive aspect of the discursive dimension associated with the exercised control —by the press— over the structures of the news that strongly influences the formation of mental models in its readers about ethnic alterity. The methodology used will be the Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and its link with the theory of journalistic discourse; the Visual Semiotics of Kress and Van Leeuwen (1996) and the Greimasian Semiotics.

This article examines media representations of same-sex sexuality in Senegal, and analyses how same-sex sexuality has been covered in a selection of Senegalese newspapers since the early 2000s. Drawing on Stuart Hall’s perspective on the role of mass media and ideology and the theory of Critical Discourse Analysis, this article describes how discourses produced by selected Senegalese newspapers generate and circulate ideological meanings. This article intends to underline the ways in which Senegalese media have come to fabricate a certain image of gay and lesbian people, often portrayed as deviant, mad or abnormal.
