Abstract
The paper offers an analysis of the construction of what has been called the “new political identity in the era of globalization” within the Athenian newspaper discourse. For this purpose, a semiotic analysis of news reporting was conducted, concerning the public demonstrations of the “anti-globalisation” movement between 1999-2001, known as The Days of Global Action Against Capitalism. Using a range of theoretical tools (the social construction of reality through language theory, the new social movement theory and the identity politics theory), the paper attempts to explore and clarify the narrative structures of the news reporting discourse, which, through its signifying practices, contribute in the production of the notion of “new political identity in the era of globalization”.
