“…This article aims to contribute to the analysis of broadcast news reports by analysing the multimodal representations of space on four broadcast news reports portraying encapuchados (hooded protesters) at various student demonstrations in Santiago, Chile, between 2014 and 2017. Grounded in a Multimodal Critical Approach to Discourse Studies (Machin, 2013), we argue that the representation of space is crucial in the construction of the multimodal metaphor HOODED STUDENT IS CANCER, which represents the deviant youth as a disease that spreads through the social body (see Cárdenas and Pérez, 2017, 2018; Pérez and Cárdenas, 2018). In particular, we are interested in identifying the strategies used in these reports to construct (public and private) space as either legitimate or illegitimate in relation to the actors involved and their actions.…”

This article analyses the multimodal representations of public space in Chilean broadcast news reports on the figure of the hooded rioter and its alleged connections with the student movement. We seek to identify how space is constructed as a (de)legitimation strategy in relation to the actors involved and the actions taking place across four different news broadcast pieces in the light of Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis and Systemic Functional Linguistics. Results show that the multimodal representations of space are crucial to identify and functionalize hooded rioters as belonging to the student movement. Actions are dependent on the spaces in which actors operate, restricting the occupation of certain spaces to specific actors. Thus, transgressive protest actions are to be contained to educational spaces and represented as naturalized vandalism, ignoring the students’/demonstrators’ motivations to recuperate/vindicate the public space.
