BELLO ARELLANO, Daniel  y  CHIUMINATTO ORREGO, Magglio Gino. From a Desert Line to a Space of Sociability. The Chilean Press’ Informative Discourse on the Border Between Chile and Peru (2014-2015). Estud. Polit. [online]. 2020, n.57, pp.150-173. ISSN 0121-5167.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.espo.n57a08.

This article analyzes the Chilean press' informative discourse on the border between Chile and Peru, to identify and compare the various narrative proposals that intervene in the symbolic process of constructing the border reality. This analysis seeks, on the one hand, to contribute to the study of a territory that is strained by long-standing bilateral disputes, which is constantly created and re-signified in (and by) public discourse; on the other hand, to compare the role of national and local media in this creative process. The work resulted in the identification of two different ways of understanding and narrating the border, which may be synthesized in two images: a line in the desert and a complex space for sociability.

Palabras clave : Bilateral Relations; Boundaries; Political Communication; Discourse Analysis; Chile; Peru.
