Deposed is a term that derives from depose , a verb from the Latin word deponĕre that refers to removing someone from their position or position . A deposed individual, therefore, lost the honor or function he or she held until then.
For example: “After the controversy, the Minister of Public Works was deposed,” “The king was deposed from the throne by a popular rebellion,” “Analysts maintain that the deposed president still holds great power.”
Starting from its meaning, we can state that they are synonymous with the term deposed, both dismissed and replaced, relieved, disavowed and even demoted. On the contrary, antonyms of that word are restored, authorized, reinstated or reinstated, for example.
Suppose that, in a public speech, the Secretary of Human Rights of a country utters aggressive and discriminatory words that affect a certain social group. Faced with this situation, the president decides to fire him since he considers that the thoughts expressed by the official are not in accordance with what someone who holds his position should feel and express. The subject in question, once dismissed, becomes the deposed Secretary of Human Rights , while another person assumes his role.
Within the sports field, the word in question is used very frequently. Thus, it is very common that, for example, when a football team is going through a period of poor results, the president and other managers take action in this regard. And among the most common is making the coach deposed and replacing him with another.
Thus, when Real Madrid has fallen out of the Copa del Rey in just one week of 2019, has not gone to the next round of the Champions League and, furthermore, has almost impossible to win the League, its coach (Solari) has been deposed. Specifically, he had to leave and in his place the former coach of the team, Zinedine Zidane, has been placed.
Sometimes the people can elect a public official and then depose him. Take the case of a mayor who comes to power thanks to democratic elections. As time goes by, however, the inhabitants of his municipality begin to become angry with him due to his policies and a serious economic and social crisis breaks out. In this way, massive demonstrations begin to take place in the streets and squares, some of them with riots, demanding the resignation of the mayor. The leader finally decides to step aside and abandons his position. It can be said, in short, that the deposed community leader had to leave the mayor's office due to the pressure exerted by the neighbors.
Likewise, we cannot ignore that in the literary field the term in question has been used on numerous occasions to proceed with giving titles to different works. This would be the case, for example, of the work “Deposed Poets”. It is an anthology of Peronist poets that was published in 2011 and has a prologue by Gito Minore.
Among the authors who have a place in this work are Alfredo Carlino, Fermín Chávez, María Granata, Julia Pritluzky Farny, Leopoldo Marechal...
