This paper aims to reconstruct the positions about sports of the Trotskyist newspapers Prensa Obrera and Politica Obrera of Argentina between 1995 and 2020, both belonging to two groups of militants who dispute control of the Partido Obrero. Emphasis will be placed on possible continuities and ruptures, as well as on the dialogue of these positions with the contributions of Marxism in the social sciences to think about sports phenomena.

In this paper we intend to address an analysis of the publication of domestic violence and femicide cases, through a survey conducted with four Argentine newspapers during the first half of 2012. We are interested in enquiring who the privileged representatives by the media are when reporting on the phenomenon, in order to distinguish the space of enunciation that the press gives to diverse actors. Through the analysis of the stories of aggressors, family, justice and victims, we intend to observe the diverse positions and the arguments involved and elucidate who has a louder voice in defining and fixing the interpretations of femicide and gender violence. Based on this, we seek to catch a sight of the reduced space women take up in a sea of voices in counterpoint. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the phraseology adopted by women's magazines in Argentina during the early 1990s, based on two cases that embody different approaches: a traditional one (Para Ti) and a more feminist-oriented approach (Women & Company). The analysis focuses on styles and personal pronouns to track the ways in which the relationship between the speaker and listener is constructed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

At the end of the nineteenth century, a process of modernization and development took place in Argentina, within the frame of the nation-state consolidation. In this context, the country witnessed a discursive profusion that expected to introduce disciplinary instruments into society, among which the creation of a modern maternal ideal can be mentioned. This paper analyzes the main topics of such discourses, through one the main media available to spread them in rural central and southern Buenos Aires in our period: the local press.

This paper addresses the discourse conflicts concerning development and the social issue, between the government elites and the power groups during post-Peronist developmentalism era in Argentina. Because of space limitations emphasis will be made on the Onganía's government. Governmentality crisis faced during that period can be explained on the grounds of the difficulty elites in power had to come to an agreement on a hegemonic discourse concerning those issues, as it is argued here. The empirical analysis will show a constant: permanence in time of a liberal narrative against any effort of state regulation and the failed attempt to create an alternative narrative through the development significant.

This article approaches the discursive constructions of the nation State and citizenship in the written press from a socio-semiotic perspective. It studies the written press in Córdoba, Argentina, over the course of the week in which Néstor Kirchner takes power in Argentina (23 to 30 May, 2003). It is argued that the very nature of the written material produced over this period, including all the written press and local papers, regardless their own reading contract, generate some kind of construction of the nation State and the Political community which, in spite of any attempts to be objective, is heralds the establishment of a new institution.
