Abstract

This paper analyzes a political speech given by Raul Alfonsín from the balcony of Government House, on 23 May 1986. Our analysis is a first approximation for further study.

In this framework, and by way of hypothesis, we hold that the reference speech, the president takes to build and establish a hegemonic reading about the past authoritarian and calls for democracy even in critical moments goes through the country. Also, to leave behind the past, dissertation aims to show the need for modernization national.

First offers a brief historical context to moment of speech. Secondly, we see a reading of Alfonsín about the past, and then analyze the presidential ethos Alfonsín built. Finally, we will give a conclusion.
