El principio de alteridad en la construcción identitaria en el discurso
Keywords:
identity. social construction. alterity. media discourse.Abstract
This article discusses the process of construction of social identites in media discourse, using the description of one particular recent case, the bombing at the 2013 Boston Marathon. Using the framework proposed by Charaudeau for identity construction in and through discourse as well as his discussion of how discourse functions in the media (Charaudeau, 2001, 2009), we show diverse discursive strategies that are used to present and progressively fill in social identities employing what Charaudeau calls the principle of alterity: we construe the “other” in contrast to ourselves and social identities, both our own and those of the “other” are developed and modified as discourse itself progresses.
