Abstract
This dissertation explores, within the framework of the French school of discourse analysis, the features of current Argentine political discourse as attested in two digital media, i.e., Facebook and Twitter. For that purpose, I have selected a corpus based on three criteria: subject-matter (i.e., partial espropriation of YPF), time (ranging from April 16, 2012 to May 5, 2012), and politics (well-known political leaders from a variety of political parties).
My starting point has been the assumption that a significant change in the social conditions of production brings about changes in discourse, which can be attested on different textual levels. Based on this assumption, my claim is that the features of political discourse (Verón, 1987) are partially but crucially restructured by the emergence of new media formats, as a consequence of the combination of the traditional formats of politics and the pre-established formats offered by the Web. The innovations brought about by the expressive resources offered by those media formats affect crucial aspects of the pragmatic dimension of political discourse, i.e., the level at which positions and relations between enunciators and receivers are put forward.
This dissertation comprises two parts. The first deals with the more general issues such as the theoretical framework and a survey of the current state of knowledge, considering the contributions of a number of disciplines at the intersection of which is the subject of this study.
The starting point is a critical review of the concept of political discourse, specifically taking into account the new aspects of the problem arising from what has been labelled “politics 2.0”. The following two chapters discuss the mechanics of the genres selected —along with their short and fast-paced life history— and propose a classification of political-discoursive orientations of the utterances that make up the corpus. The resulting categories (entries focusing on contact, reference, intertextuality, the epideictic or the didactic-doctrinary) account for the coexistence of the emerging forms, which arise out of the use of the networks, and the classical forms which are restructured to adjust to a new format and new dissemination and reception conditions.
The second part of this dissertation analyzes the texts throughout three chapters. In the first two —dealing with Facebook and Twitter, respectively— I have studied the enunciation and rhetoric-argumentative levels. The analysis shows that the manners in which the “I” is structured correspond with the above-described politicalcommunicative usages and in turn combine innovative forms (such as the “enunciator-chronicler”) with others (like the “leader” or the “activist”) which revisit classical forms of political enunciation.
Additionally, this kind of approach makes possible to contrast the forms in which these phenomena occur in each of the genres analysed according to expressive resources, output and consumption rates and the user profiles assumed by each of them.
The last chapter discusses internet users’ comments, the relationship between their enunciations with the speech they are commenting and the resources used to signal different levels of closeness or rejection. At this point, the study considers the automatic rating tools offered by platforms and the expressive resources and strategies readers employ in commenting and evaluating primary enunciations and/or arguing with their peers.
Finally, the dissertation provides some final conclusions and proposes potentially new issues for further research.
