GUIJARRO-OJEDA, Juan Ramón e RUIZ-CECILIA, Raúl. The Representation of LGTBI+ People by Spanish Conservative and Progressive Press. Convergencia [online]. 2019, vol.26, n.80, 06. ISSN 2448-5799. https://doi.org/10.29101/crcs.v26i80.10783.
This paper investigates the way LGTBI+ people are represented by conservative and progressive Spanish newspapers. With this purpose in mind, a corpus has been compiled with news items published regarding the ratification of the legal nature of homosexual marriage in Spain on November 6, 2012. As a method, we have analyzed transitivity and the semantic roles of processes as an instrument of the Critical Discourse Analysis methodology. The main results reveal that there is a substantial difference between conservative and progressive newspapers: the prominence given by the conservative press to LGTBI+ people represents just one third of that displayed by the progressive press; the conservative press reduces the levels of consciousness, voice, cognition, desire, emotion and perception as compared to the progressive, which strengthens them. Finally, the conservative press uses negative processes as an LGTBI+ people’s intrinsic feature; whilst the progressive uses them to reveal social injustice against them.
