This research deals with the editorial positioning of 15 Spanish and Portuguese newspapers and magazines on Marcelo Caetano's official visit to Spain in 1970. The editorials and opinion articles are analysed using a quantitative, qualitative and comparative methodology. We identify different ideological orientations. The paper concludes that the official newspapers and some moderate ones were triumphalist in the opinions expressed; few opinions distanced themselves from the official political slogans; and the opposition press oscillated between keeping silent and expressing reservations about both regimes.

The aim of this paper is to analyze metaphors about the social outbreak in editorials, from Diario El Sur and Diario Concepción, two of Concepción's local newspapers. The corpus was composed of 23 editorials from these newspapers. Metaphor identification was done through Discourse Dynamics Approach to Metaphor. A total of 653 metaphors was found, which was then grouped, resulting in a total sum of 268 metaphors for the analysis. In this research, the editorial perspective about the social outbreak of two local newspapers was studied through metaphor. In both media outlets, similar metaphor vehicles were used. While Diario El Sur prioritizes the need for normalization, Diario Concepción legitimates the demonstrations as an expression of social discontent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to analyse a corpus of 137 texts published between 1888 and 1899. These texts are included in one of the most successful Spanish-language newspapers published in the United States during the second half of the nineteenth century: Las Novedades (New York, 1876-1918). In the analysis I will determine the linguistic ideologies and the discursive strategies used for the promotion of Hispanism and Spanish language in a sociopolitical context in which the Spanish hegemony was losing all its power at an international level. Thus, the ideologies found are divided in two different categories: the linguistic ideologies that give the language a cultural value and the linguistic ideologies that make reference to the economic and commercial value of the language. The results obtained from this analysis will contribute to understand the role of Spanish language in the United States. Furthermore, this paper presents an unpublished corpus of clear historiographic interest that contributes to clarify the panorama of Hispanism in a country like the United States.

This paper investigates the media discourses about gender violence of Spanish and Italian newspapers on Facebook, focusing on the aggressors. Analyzing the ideology, we see if the news let infer a social or a patriarchal perspective about gender violence, considering both newspapers and users' discourses. We adopt the Critical Discourse Analysis perspective, with a linguistic-discoursive glance and with a journalistic one. And with a linguistic-cognitive-semiotic and analytical methodology. Results tell us that the Spanish and Italian press represent the aggressors through a patriarchal ideology, influencing the users' discourses. Moreover, both in the newspaper discourses and in the users', we find differences between Spanish and Italian texts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article analyzes an intense controversy in which prominent members of a conservative sector of the Aguascalientes society took part, who manifested themselves through the local press, regarding the fact that in the second courtyard of the Government Palace the Chilean artist Osvaldo Barra Cunningham made, in 1961, the mural painting Aguascalientes en la historia. Some subjects in which the historical evolution of the Catholic Church is represented caused sting in certain sectors of the population, who felt aggrieved for interpreting, that the faith, beliefs and religious sensibilities of Catholics were freely offended. Images of religion captured on the walls of a civic monument, in an atmosphere prior to the Second Vatican Council, is the object of study in this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to study how the armed movement known as the Cristiada (1926-1929), that opposed the State with the Catholic Church in Mexico, was a symbolic event for the development and transmission of anticlerical thought through Latin America. From discourses circulated at journals such as Amauta (Peru), Claridad (in Argentina and Chile), and Repertorio Americano (Costa Rica) we will study reasons, circumstances and ideologies that took the Mexican case as an intellectual guide for Latin American modernization.

Methodological criteria that may serve as a guideline to monetize press photographic collections from their reuse are presented and discussed. ABC (Spain) and The New York Times (USA) were taken as paradigms, and different aspects raised by the information and documentation professionals were considered: quantity and wealth of images, and internal and external demand. Every photographic press fund is susceptible to being monetized, although for its profitability it is necessary to design plans based on specific criteria such as the methodology proposed in this paper, which is based on three phases (prior, intermediate and applicative), and comprises the quantification, qualification, documentary treatment, users typology and dissemination. The analysis shows that a greater involvement on the part of photographers and press editors is necessary to make profitable the available photograph holdings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper reconstructs and examines the participation in public life of the Chilean writer Francisco Bilbao during the early years of his political exile in the Argentine provinces (1857-1859). Its objective is to make a contribution to the studies on Bilbao and on political exile by considering the reasons that led him to choose that fate and examining the conditions that allowed him to play a relevant role in the press and in the associative movement despite being a political exile with revolutionary backgrounds and radical ideas. To that end, the characteristics of the society that welcomed him and his family, as well as the intellectual and political ties he wove are considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This text details the entertainment spaces where Delahuertistas and Escobaristas leaders participated during their exile in the United States, in the 1920s and 1930s. Their presence in movies, radio stations and festivals echoed them in the English press (main source for this paper), and in turn helped --consciously or not-- to project an image of the exile, the veteran of the revolution and the Mexican migrant. The protagonists of these exiles worked in the United States on movies, radio stations, newspapers, cultural festivals, theaters, and more, and learned about the practice. Taking into account that the majority of them returned to Mexico, and that some continued with these activities, we propose that the exiles imported cultural capital, which had repercussions on national artistic and cultural movements, such as the era of Mexican gold cinema.
