Mediante un examen atento de las distintas estrategias discursivas empleadas por la prensa deportiva, esta virtud es deconstruida a fin deubicar la ideología nacionalista que se instala detrás. El espíritu de este ensayoes, pues, desnaturalizar todo intento de encasillar la idea de una identidadnacional homogénea en esta característica, representación que las enunciacionesdeportivas se encargan de exponer como una verdad casi irrefutable.Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú2015-07-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/conexion/article/view/14974Conexión; No. 4 (2015); 50-69Conexión; Núm. 4 (2015); 50-69Conexión; n. 4 (2015); 50-692413-54372305-7467reponame:Revistas - Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstname:Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstacron:PUCPspahttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/conexion/article/view/14974/15506Derechos de autor 2016 Conexiónhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/149742021-11-17T01:13:16Z
