Polite protectionism, or deglobalization? A study on persuasion and emotion in US and EU discourses around America’s Inflation Reduction Act 2022
Barra lateral del artículo
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Este estudio pretende explorar la persuasión y la emoción en el discurso político occidental, a raíz de la aprobación de la IRA, una ley estadounidense, de corte proteccionista pero presentada como freno a la inflación y a la lucha contra el cambio climático. Compilamos un corpus ad hoc con los discursos propagandísticos de Joe Biden y los de reacción a esta ley de las dirigentes de la UE von der Leyen y Vestager, y llevamos a cabo un análisis contrastivo para 1) desvelar los rasgos léxicos del lenguaje persuasivo y políticamente correcto y, 2) analizar la polaridad emocional en uno y otro subcorpus. Por último, analizamos ambas narrativas a través de sus metáforas, personificaciones y presuposiciones. Pretendemos así que traductores e intérpretes conozcan los matices del discurso político moderno en pro y contra el proteccionismo económico y el unilateralismo, conducente a la desfragmentación y la desglobalización latente a escala global.
