Abstract

RIVERA OLGUIN, Patricio; HERRERA SALINAS, Jenny  and  SANCHEZ ESPINOZA, Eugenio. El Corvo: A case of xenophobic and nationalist speech in a context of violence, Tarapacá, 1919. Desde el Sur [online]. 2022, vol.14, n.1, e0009.  Epub May 26, 2022. ISSN 2076-2674.  http://dx.doi.org/10.21142/des-1401-2022-0009.

The article analyzes the content of El Corvo, a pasquín newspaper that circulated in the saltpeter region of Tarapacá in northern Chile in 1919. In a context of the so-called Chileanization, located in the post-war Pacific, in a conflict zone and prior to the Treaty of Lima in 1929. This study focuses its objective on the analysis of the discourse present in the columns of El Corvo and establishes categories that show the vulgarization and violence described in this written medium towards the Peruvian inhabitant of Tarapacá, understood as another by this editorial. Likewise, the general linguistic structures (linguistic categories, macroactions and rhetorical uses) and their respective correlation with the stereotypes set for the Peruvian population settled in the saltpeter region and specifically in Iquique are examined and described. It is possible to establish the existence of an informative coverage that is based on the construction of an original Tarapacan inhabitant of these spaces that is culturally inferior to the Chilean occupation of these territories.

Keywords : El Corvo; patriotic leagues; discourse analysis; Iquique.
