Los posicionamientos discursivos de actores políticos a través de las nuevas tecnologías. El caso de Juan Cabandié
Abstract
This paper is part of a research project that examines the discursive constructions of the Argentinean political group called La Campora. In this occasion, we analyze the Twitter profile of one of their leaders: Juan Cabandié. First, we describe the construction of different political addressees. Then, we consider the different speech acts performed. The working hypothesis is that, due to the coexistence of a multiplicity of illocutionary forces in the same discursive space plus the cross-linking among different addressees, the politic figure constructs three types of footing: 1) the young militant, 2) the political leader and 3) the public official.
