Abstract

GRAJALES-SANCHEZ, Gloria Maritza  and  MARTINEZ AREVALO, Javier Orlando. Trends, trajectories, and power relations in the peace-building speech in the El Espectador newspaper (Colombia). Ágora U.S.B. [online]. 2020, vol.20, n.1, pp.112-129. ISSN 1657-8031.  https://doi.org/10.21500/16578031.4184.

This article discusses the trends, trajectories, and power relations produced in El Espectador’s peace-building speech in 3 milestones of the peace process in Colombia between 2012 and 2016: the start of dialogues, their suspension and conduct of the plebiscite. A Critical Analysis of the speech of 21 publishers was performed. The results indicate that the medium, although it bets on dialogue as a strategy to resolve the armed conflict in Colombia, supports the use of violence by the State and its posture, is influenced by its link with the political power of the country.

Keywords : Peace in Colombia; Peace-building; Critical Discourse Analysis; Conflict Resolution; and Conflict in Colombia..
