Immigrants from Peru in the Chilean Press: the Case of "La Estrella" from Arica (2000-2010)
Abstract
Articles published in the newspaper "La Estrella" from Arica about Peruvian immigrants present in this city are being analysed. The documentation, discussed within the theoretical framework of discourse analysis and social representations, suggests that the newspaper ideologically draws on “symbolic racism”. The methodology integrates discourse analysis procedures, specifically those referred to topics and discursive strategies that transform the immigrant into an uncivilized subject. It is concluded that "La Estrella" constructs with discursive simplicity a type of elementary otherness in regard to the immigrant which is based on ethnic differences.
