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]

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]

Gabriela Mistral and Alfonsina Storni were fully aware that they were living in a time of transition, marked by great economic, political and social transformations. The essays and chronicles they publish in newspapers and magazines between the end of 1910 and 1930 give testimony to their particular point of view about these processes of modernization as well as to their attempts to intervene and destabilize the hegemonic discourses about them. The purpose of this paper is to reflect upon the relationship between Mistral and Storni with certain aspects of modernization, based on their journalistic prose. What does it mean for them, as women, writers and workers, to live in a time of transition? What is their particular vision of a period of radical transformation for women and other disempowered people? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
