Abstract

The article examines how the Crisis magazine (Buenos Aires, 1973-1976) covered the unfolding situation in Chile following the coup d'état on September 11, 1973. Utilizing tools of discourse analysis, the notion of discursive strand is employed to thematically organize the texts published by the magazine regarding the Chilean circumstances. Subsequently, Crisis articles are analyzed as discourses that were actively related both to the Latin American cultural field and the social and political order of their time. Concepts such as commitment, novelty, and memory allow us to analyse the specific manner in which these discourses enabled the magazine to position itself during the tumultuous years of its publication.
