“Elecciones en perspectiva transnacional: un análisis discursivo a la oferta política venezolana 2020”

Abstract

From the academy, political phenomena have been analyzed from the national level and recently from the perspective of transnational analysis. However, if one tries to compare both arenas, the literature is quite limited. This research sought to explore the discourses of the Venezuelan political offer, making a clear separation between the national arena and the transnational ground. For the study, a discourse analysis was carried out from the theory of social discourse, of leaders and members of Venezuelan political parties to identify the characteristics and meaning marks of their discursive exchange in the framework of the 2020 parliamentary elections in Venezuela. In this research with a qualitative approach, we worked with a documentary review and with the use of interviews with representatives of Venezuelan opposition political parties, and with speeches by members of the government party of Nicolas Maduro taken from official media. The main results of this research allowed the identification of notions of citizenship, the importance of political participation and the construction of a transnational identity in the discourse of the Venezuelan political offer.
