Descripción
This article offers a comparative analysis of the construction of political scenes of representation by two former argentine presidents, cristina fernández de Kirchner (2008-2015) and mauricio macri (2015-2019), based on televised speeches and social media postings. as there is no political representation without staging, and any staging needs a material surface for its deployment, the comparative reconstruction of scenes of representation is required for understanding the impact of socio-technological transformations in the political field. our analysis assumes that the political dramaturgy of representation entails: (a) that the leader must show a way of connecting with his constituents; (b) therefore, the leader must configure a preferred political subject (i.e., a predominant form of figurative citizenry); and (c) that this configuration constitutes a possible portion of the entire population that can be represented. according to our analysis, each leader is associated with a different type of representation scene. while one leader configures her scenes with large-scale crowds and via national television broadcasts, the other configures his encounters with individuals via social media. this engenders two opposing conceptions of citizenry, connectable to two different classes of Interpretants: a political-ideological Interpretant and an unpolitical and para-ideological one.
