Representaciones del conflicto y medios masivos: la pueblada de Salta en noviembre de 2000 a través de Clarín y El Tribuno;

Abstract

In this article we investigate the various ways in which the episode of protest by road-blockades occurred in November 2000 in the northern province of Salta was mentioned and interpreted, in the framework of an extensive process of struggles developed since the mid-1990s. The study is based on representations that were disseminated by two mass media (Clarín and El Tribuno). We reconstructed, through critical reading of the news, the characterizations about the protagonists of the protest, who were their issuers, the moments in which they were made, etc. In this sense, the objective is to elucidate how physical and symbolic confrontations, far from being divorced, are interdependent.
