El comercio sexual en Chile: ambiguedades y contradicciones discursivas

i use this article to analyze two types of discourses from a critical point of view, in relation to the commercial sexual exploitation in chile. first, i should speak about the discourse expressed by political authorities. second, i should speak about the content of a municipal ordinance of las condes commune in chile metropolitan area, intended to regulate exercise of such an activity. by using social player representation models (van leeuwen, 1996 and fairclough, 2003) i should conclude that analyzed discourses specifically include caregivers and residents of the sector and exclude women and customers who directly participate in the activity. likewise, an ambiguous position where acceptance and rejection of commercial sexual exploitation coexist while discursive voices follow the ideological position which states that prostitution is an economic activity as any one else.
