Resumen

Este estudio analiza los spots de presentación de campañas presidenciales desde 2008 hasta 2020 en Estados Unidos, centrándose en los candidatos Barack Obama, Donald Trump, Joe Biden, John McCain, Mitt Romney y Hillary Clinton. Examina cómo estos candidatos adaptan sus estrategias de mensajería en respuesta a cambios socioeconómicos y políticos. Al utilizar la metodología de marcos de comunicación de Aquiles Chihu, la investigación descompone los elementos visuales, verbales y auditivos dentro de estos anuncios para comprender su impacto en las percepciones de los votantes. Los hallazgos clave revelan que, si bien todos los candidatos emplean narrativas visuales y apelaciones emocionales, su efectividad varía según la alineación con los valores y preocupaciones de los votantes. La integración del marco sonoro mejora la comprensión del compromiso emocional, destacando su papel en la conformación de narrativas y la movilización de votantes.
