Análisis multimodal de “El siguiente programa” una representación de la política colombiana entre la corrupción y el clientelismo.

Abstract

Patronage and corruption, those two words that seem like synonyms, when it comes to describing Colombian politics, two illnesses that appear to be timeless, and each time they have become an ethos of the must-be in Colombian Politics. The reason behind this investigation has as an ending to understand how patronage and corruption have been represented in the animated series "El siguiente programa" which was broadcasted in the '90s and at the beginning of the 00s. This show was meant to criticize the political situation and the cultural context of Colombia through sarcasm, irreverence, and dark humor. For it, this investigation makes use of the multimodal analysis theory, specifically through the approach of the multimodal metaphor as an element of audiovisual analysis through the medium of diverse semiotic lines that this show represents.
