Abstract

Here is an examination of the discursive treatment concerning the case of five Cubans Gerardo Hernandez, Antonio Guerrero, Ramón Labañino, Fernando Gonzalez and Rene Gonzalez, who were imprisoned in the United States, with particular interest in exploring areas of domination, power and ideology socialized in Twitter. From the relationship between language, journalistic discourse, knowledge and perspectives of the ACD, such as cognitive studies and textually oriented discourse analysis, we developed a methodological tool to study a sample of tweets containing the hashtag#5DaysForTheFive, within the context Third 5 days for The Cuban 5, held in Washington, D.C. from June 4 to 11, 2014. In the article identified the ways in which abuses of power on the case take place are identified, thanks to its legitimacy from discourse and the ideological response that users and followers give from the microbloggingnetwork.
