Abstract

The purpose of this work is to approach the Social Imaginary of the last coup d’état that took place in Honduras (June 6th, 2009), defining a textual reference, setting marks (Pintos, 2006) and using a specific software. Social Imaginary Theory (Coca et al., 2011) and Lexical Analysis as a quantitative technic are used to study the discourse, complemented with Grounded Theory. In this paper we show a plurality of Social Imaginaries that coexist -some are common, other are diverse and some are even antagonistic. This permits to reveal not only the forces that promote changes but also the opposite, as well as the rupture of frames and meanings in the Honduran society in this crisis context.
