It introduces the original approach and its theoretical, methodological, historical and political rationale. It then describes a research project performed on political discourse in Mexico, comparing the discourse of a former president and the counterhegemonic discourse of the Zapatista movement, which protested against the shift to a global economy, especially the installed free market treatment between Mexico, Canada and the USA (NAFTA).
