Up, close and personal: the new Front National visual strategy under Marine Le Pen
Extensive analyses of Marine Le Penâs media interventions as leader of the French Front National have revealed mostly rhetorical differences from her fatherâs discourse. In particular, despite Marine Le Penâs professed openness toward women and their policy concerns, and despite her professed intention to transform the FN into party suitable for government, there has been little progress in these directions. However, the FNâs visual discourse has been all but ignored by the scholarly analysis, despite the fact that campaign visuals encode significant social and political information. This paper finds that the FN candidatesâ visual presentation has undergone major transformations from the 2007 to the 2012 legislative elections. Specifically FN candidates in 2012 are more likely to visually portray themselves like mainstream party candidates. Compared to the 2007 elections, women candidates, in particular, were more likely to visually promote their personal qualities in 2012, in some respects more than 2012 men candidates
Alteridad, etnicidad y racismo en la bĂșsqueda de orĂgenes de personas adoptadas. El caso de España
En España, la bĂșsqueda de orĂgenes de las personas adoptadas, motivada por la necesidad de comunicar la historia previa a los/las menores provenientes principalmente de China, Rusia, EtiopĂa y Vietnam, transita entre lo biolĂłgico y lo cultural. Las adopciones internacionales introducen en el contexto de la adopciĂłn un replanteamiento de las nociones origen e identidad e incorporan las de etnicidad y raza. En este artĂculo, mediante el anĂĄlisis crĂtico de discurso de un trabajo etnogrĂĄfico, se subraya la importancia de repensar quĂ© se estĂĄ entendiendo por âorĂgenesâ, tanto institucional como acadĂ©micamente, y cuĂĄles son las consecuencias âtanto teĂłricas como metodolĂłgicas y prĂĄcticasâ de esta conceptualizaciĂłn en la construcciĂłn de otredad y diferencia en las personas adoptadas, en funciĂłn de su procedenciaIn Spain, the search for the origins of adopted people, driven by the need to communicate the prior history of minors coming mainly from China, Russia, Ethiopia and Vietnam, moves between the biological and the cultural. International adoptions introduce a rethinking of the notions of origin and identity and incorporate those of ethnicity and race into the context of adoption. In this article, through the critical discourse analysis of an ethnographic paper, we highlight the importance of rethinking what is being understood as âoriginsâ, both institutionally as well as academically, and what are the consequences âboth theoretically as well as methodologically and practicallyâ of this conceptualization in the construction of otherness and difference in adopted people, based on their provenance.El presente artĂculo se inscribe en el Proyecto I+D+i, âMenores migrantes en el arco mediterrĂĄneo: movilidad, sistemas de acogida e integraciĂłnâ (DER2017-89623-R), financiado por el Ministerio de EconomĂa, Industria y Competitividad del Gobierno de España
