• Resumen

  • Politics may be defined as the forms which give to our social existence a meaning we can recognize and assume. Semiotics helps us understand the social contract which sets up political society. Semiotics of politics is made of discourses and representations by those who take part in these representations and by the strategies and actions that make up what we know as history. This paper deals with the different ways by which power is semiotized and represented aesthetically as well as with the differences between political rhetoric and political semiotics; also with the various ways institutions are represented in different forms of political communications. Finally it deals with the limits of semiotics of politics, the notion of crisis, censorship war and totalitarianism.
