The city of Granada in the discourse of the proclamations of Holy Week

The Official Proclamation of the Holy Week of Granada is a key event for the promotion of religious celebrations. This oral discourse also serves to construct and reconstruct a portrayal of Granada that incorporates urban, historical, religious and social aspects. Consequently, the aim of this article is to analyse how the city of Granada is represented through the discourse of the Official Proclamation of Holy Week. To do so, a semi-automated discourse analysis of the official proclamations will be conducted to identify the rhetorical and narrative strategies used by the speakers to represent the city. The prominence of Granada in the proclamations shows that the city not only serves as a stage for the processions, but is also established as a central element in the confraternal narrative. Likewise, the references to the city go beyond the merely urban, reflecting social and identitarian characteristics, linked to the ontology of the Granadan.
