Humor en editoriales de TalCual Texto e imagen en el discurso político
Keywords:
sociosemiotics. humor. political discourse. dialogic interaction.Abstract
After exploring different theories and methods for the study of humor in political discourse, I take the challenge of choosing an approach to discourse analysis which defines discourse as multimodal (Gunter Kress, Leite-García and van Leewen, 2000) to study, from a sociosemiotic perspective, editorials taken from the Venezuelan newspaper TalCual, and published from October 2005 to April 2006. The editorials are all related to the topic of corruption, and specifically to the events that took place during that period at the Venezuelan Supreme Court of Justice. From this corpus, and for the purposes of this article, I have chosen an editorial that synthesizes the newspaper’s stand on the problem, and that also establishes an intertextual relationship ”“ both at the iconic and linguistic dimensions”“ with previous editorials. The editorials are placed on the front pages of Tal Cual, in a space fully illustrated with colorful images. I am particularly interested in the relationship established among the images conceived as symbols and the texts with which they dialogize. It is precisely in the intersection of these semiotic resources that humor and, above all, the evaluation of political discourse, are constructed.
