Resumen

RIMOLO-BARIATTI, Annamaria. The founding character and origin of San Vito de Java, Coto Brus, (Costa Rica: 1952-2020) sixty-eight years after its foundation. InterSedes [online]. 2021, vol.22, n.45, pp.58-116. ISSN 2215-2458.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/isucr.v22i45.45629.

The aim of this article is to explore the founding character and origin of San Vito through the discursive elaborations –inserted in a continuum that flows from hegemonic to counter-hegemonic- discourse of the Italian-San Vito population; from the first to the third generations of Italian immigrants and their descends. San Vito is in the southern part of Costa Rica, in the Province of Puntarenas and is the head of the Canton of Coto Brus. This analysis follows Van Dijk´s (2000) guidelines on ideologies and discourse and the binary division of hegemonic/counter-hegemonic ideologies proposed by James Scott (1985, 1990).

Palabras clave : San Vito; ideologies about its origin and founders; Teun van Dijk; the binary division between hegemonic/counter-hegemonic; James Scott.
