Abstract

This article proposes, in an exploratory theoretical mode, a small set of (connected) methodological suggestions (pro/positions) for the analysis of political and ideological processes that are materialized in (mainly) linguistic discursive form, within a given historical cycle (20th century Mexican parliamentary discourse). In particular, the text focuses on the delicate and intricate relationships that develop between analyst, constitutive frame (or point of view) and object of analysis, and on the necessity of exploring and deepening this relationship along the investigative itinerary. Reading, seen as a communicable, structured and formal sense-making activity, plays a key role in the deliberate and situated semiotic `stoppage' that is effectuated by discourse analysis research practices, as illustrated here with excerpts from the corpus of a previous extended study.
