Abstract

PALMA, Alejandra Gabriela. Re-writting democracy: ideological accents and discursive memory in the export-tax polemic in Argentina (March-July 2008). Rev. Pilquen. secc. cienc. soc. [online]. 2018, vol.21, n.2, pp.12-24. ISSN 1851-3123.

This article was developed as part of a larger research project that aims to study the discursive polemic (Amossy 2014) regarding the proposed new scheme of agro-export taxes -retenciones- that took place in Argentina during the first half of the year 2008, by analyzing the nodal points that organize the two opposing discourses: President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner s, on the one hand, and the discourse of the leaders of the agrarian organizations that oppose the new tax, on the other. To that end, we analyze, in their public speeches, the accentuations of specific ideological signs (Voloshinov 1976), which are the focus of discursive struggles (Raiter 2016) for the imposition of different accentuations. In this paper, we will focus on two accentuations of DEMOCRACIA: as a legally established popular government and as a form of managing public disagreements. The results show that the two accentuations are present in both discourses, not without tensions, which points to a struggle for the appropriation of the sign as a crucial aspect of this discursive polemic.

Keywords : Political discourse; Discursive polemic; Argentinean agrarian conflict 2008; Ideological signs; Democracy.
