Abstract
This thesis proposes the semiopolitics of Americanism to analyze the theoretical-conceptual presuppositions of semiopolitics under the representation made by Antonio Gramsci on American life as “Americanism”. To do so, it addresses the complexities of the components that generated unipolarity as the United States emerged hegemonic power after its success in the Cold War. It also investigates the results of the successive waves that shaped its evolution, to become the foundation of the New World Order. Its sociocultural evolution under the assumptions of WASP supremacism confluence with the late-capitalist processes under the neoliberal values that consolidated American centrality as a world reference and model of society. The quantitative and qualitative transformation processes resulting from the change of technological paradigm generated by the scientific-technical revolution and the multiplicity of its processes are studied in greater depth; the late-capitalist globalization with the universalization of markets, production, and consumption; the fundamental role of its cultural industry; as well as the multiple inputs produced by its cosmology that succeed in imposing themselves universally.

In the absence of a political sociology of knowledge for the mass society, the semiopolitics of Americanism is a competent instrument to understand this long series of social and political processes not easy to apprehend, from the first oil crisis to the possible re-election of Donald Trump, in a scenario of authoritarian reconquest.
