SOLER CASTILLO, Sandra. Racism Discourse: Discursive Structures and Strategies. Colomb. Appl. Linguist. J. [online]. 2019, vol.21, n.2, pp.194-207. ISSN 0123-4641.  https://doi.org/10.14483/22487085.13857.

This article analyzes the topic of racism and its relationship with discourse, and presents the problem of representation of racialized individuals, particularly black individuals from a white European hegemonic discourse that has been historically built around the concept of race. It follows a classification and categorization logic, from phenotypical and cultural characteristics, which has resulted in the death, oppression and exclusion of millions of human beings. The text presented is based on the author’s research, which includes more than 15 years of experience working on the issue of racism and, additionally, collecting work from some of the most important critical discourse analysis researchers who have worked on racism. The text begins by identifying discursive structures and strategies mainly focused on referencing, predicting, reasoning, and using narrative and stylistic resources.

Palabras clave : reasoning; discourse; discursive structures; discursive strategies; racism.
