Abstract

This article proposes a theoretical and methodological approach based on Michel Foucault’s archaeology to analyze written press coverage of state crime trials in Argentina (1976-1983). This approach enables a comprehensive analysis of media discursive production, viewing the press as both an archive and a contested space for meanings concerning memory, truth, and justice. It argues that media actively construct meanings about the recent past, beyond merely informing. The archaeological methodology reveals how discourses of legitimacy, impunity, and justice emerge and transform within contexts marked by state violence. Its application helps denaturalize media discourses and observe ruptures in trial narratives.
