Title: Costa Rica, el discurso de la patria
First published: 1994
Description: "Theoretically varied content analysis of national newspaper stoics (1950-86) sees Costa Rican national political culture as centered on discourses of patria, independence, liberty, democracy, and peace, perspectives deemed 'exhausted' compared to Marxian viewpoints. Analysis includes a questionable attempt to relate the grammatical gender of Spanish terms to social gender. Also offers a conceptualization of the 'psychogenesis' of the 'collective imagination.' No consideration is given to the measurement/theory problems in conflating elite-created news or views with popular viewpoints"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
