- Title
Discurso y comunicación en Venezuela: del determinismo al nacionalismo tecnológico.
- Authors
CASTRO, JESÚS ALBERTO ANDRADE
- Abstract
This paper examines the development of information technologies in Venezuela and how the discursive element legitimizes its own use; to do so, three types of discourse are identified (technological determinism, technological democracy, and technological nationalism.) Based on the fundamental assumption that hegemony is an ideological process in a permanent quest for power, it uses discourse to legitimize itself. We examine how, in Venezuela, concurrently with other state policies that attempt the construction of a communication model based on information technologies, the technical discourse "pervades" environments where the ict's can legitimize their existence in order to establish an ideological hegemony in society.
