Description
Summary:This study aims to understand the use that the now former president of Ecuador, Rafael Correa, made of the term "homeland" in his electoral publicity. To do this, a spot is taken from his 2006 presidential candidacy and another from 2013 as objects of analysis. Although there are numerous studies on the Correa’s advertising we have not found any that have focused on the use of the concept "homeland", so this research may be useful for future approaches. After the analysis, we observe that the central concept of Correa's propaganda is precisely the homeland and that, from its advertising usage, the president seeks to modify some elements of the preexisting collective imaginary, as well as replace them with others more in line with his ideology.
