Political Discourse and The Body on Television: Debate/Fighting

Abstract

This article seeks to analyze the electoral political discourse from senses inscribed on the body of the presidential candidates in the 2014 campaign during the television broadcast of the last debate aired by Globo TV, on 24 October. Based on theories of discourse studies and anthropological studies of imagery production in the social history of civilizations, the paper aims to think over the functioning of the current political discourse inscribed in the dynamics of the body position of the candidates in television production/broadcast that characterizes the political debate genre.
