Abstract

El siguiente artículo se desprende de una investigación en curso, desarrollada desde la Escuela de Antropología de la Universidad de Costa Rica, titulada “¡Se muere gallo bueno! jóvenes, galleras y gallos de pelea". Este texto es la primera entrega de dicha investigación , se concentra en analizar la perspectiva de La Nación S.A. respecto a las peleas de gallos. Se recurrió al Análisis Crítico del discurso, como herramienta metodológica, porque posibilita la visualización de ideas que parecieran emerger en La Nación S.A, con la intención de sensibilizar moralmente a sus lectores/as, al emplear diversas estrategias discursivas valorativas, con un abordaje sensacionalista e irreflexivo. Así, se evidencia que este medio de comunicación precisa de este tipo de aproximaciones para mostrar la violencia en las peleas de gallos para ocultarla violencia cometida por su forma de exponer y a analizar las dinámicas sociales.
The following article arises from an ongoing research project, developed by the School of Anthropology -Escuela de Antropología- at La Universidad de Costa Rica, entitled "Good Cock dies!. Youngters, cockpits and cockfighting”. This text is the first part of such research and it is focused on analyzing the perspective of La Nación S.A. newspaper in relation to the cockfight phenomenon in Costa Rica. We used Critical Discourse Analysis, as a methodological tool, as it makes it possible to see ideas that seem to emerge from La Nacion, S.A. with the purpose of raising moral awareness within the readers by using discourse-evaluative strategies, addressed in a sensationalist and thoughtless manner. Thus, it is evident that this media requires this kind of approaches to show the violence of cockfighting, and to hide the violence committed by its way of exposing and analyzing the social dynamics.
