Análisis crítico del discurso del colectivo Todo por mis hijos frente al matrimonio igualitario en Ecuador

Abstract

Equal marriage was approved in Ecuador in 2019, an issue that generated a dispute of the senses in the media. Within this framework, conservative ideology groups expressed a resounding rejection of it. From a theoretical perspective, it starts from concepts such as: Communication, power and discourse; Gender and discourse; and Critical discourse analysis (ACD). Taking as main references: Gender and discourse (Wodak, 1997), Métodos de análisis crítico del discurso (Wodak & Meyer, 2003) and El análisis crítico del discurso (Van Dijk, El análisis crítico del discurso, 1999). The corpus, part of a radio interview with the official spokesman of the collective Todo por mis hijos. His speech represents the official position of the collective, as well as the political actor who embodies the position of pro-family and pro-life. Through the analysis of the discourse from a methodological perspective and the tool of the index of violation of rights (Chavero, Aliaga, & Oller Alonso, 2014), the endogroup and exogroup were identified. Concluding that the discursive axes are based on religion, human reproduction and heteronormed marriage for biological purposes. There is also stigmatization of LGTBI groups and constitutional judges who participated in the process of approval of equal marriage. And the constitutional information and arguments are incomplete and manipulated at your convenience.
