O discurso jornalístico e o processo de marginalização social do exército zapatista de libertação nacional e do movimento dos trabalhadores rurais sem terra

Abstract

The emergence of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) and the Movement of Landless Workers (MST) in the last two decades of the twentieth century was responsible for important changes in political and social context of Latin America. Presenting themselves as representatives of a new set of social movements, the EZLN and MST contributed to the process of building new frameworks and methods of political participation. However, the definition of a public image for those movements cannot be considered solely from their speeches and demonstrations. In this sense, we analyze the speech produced by the newspaper industry since the study presented by this thesis, we understand this as a major political actor within the context of contemporary Latin American. It is our goal to analyze the process of social marginalization of the EZLN and MST, from the speeches made, respectively, by El Universal and O Globo. As part of the process of marginalization produced by newspapers, we also identified, as a one of the discursive strategies, the criminalization of social movements
