VITALE, María Alejandra  and  DAGATTI, Mariano. The constitution of democratic Argentina in Raúl Alfonsín's inaugural address. Hallazgos [online]. 2016, vol.13, n.26, pp.65-91. ISSN 1794-3841.  https://doi.org/10.15332/s1794-3841.2016.0026.03.

From the standpoint of constitutive Rhetoric, this paper elaborates on Argentine president RaúlAlfonsín's inaugural address in Congress (December 10th, 1983). Methodological tools from Rhetoric and Discourse Analysis work together in order to explain how this speech constitutes democracy after seven years of dictatorship (1976-1983), while performing a heterogeneous audience composed by different political and ideological positions into a plural and united democratic subject, bound together by civic ethics.

Keywords : Constitutive Rhetoric; inaugural address; Raúl Alfonsín; democracy; democratic subject.
