Zusammenfassung: | This research seeks to show the main characteristics that define an electoral campaign nowadays, almost two decades after the emergence of social networks. The case focuses on examining all the messages posted on Twitter by the two most voted candidates running for mayor of Bogotá, Colombia, during the 2020-2023 election period. This article uses a mixed methodology, based on content analysis, and centers on the textual recurrences of 2,343 tweets. The main finding leads us to propose that we are in a multiplatform context that forces candidates to communicate in different languages and values, adopting a new trend of mixing hard and soft messages into a single tweet, and to reinforce the emotional side with the use of images and symbols. It can be concluded that, within the content, an emotional, highly persuasive narrative is imposed, focused on personal stories that blur the political parties and that involve agenda issues that mix premodern, modern, and postmodern values.
Esta investigación busca mostrar las principales características que definen una campaña electoral en la actualidad, casi dos décadas después del surgimiento de las redes sociales. El caso se centra en examinar todos los mensajes publicados en Twitter por los dos candidatos a la alcaldía de Bogotá, Colombia, más votados durante el período electoral 2020-2023. Se utiliza una metodología mixta, basada en el análisis de contenido, centrada en las recurrencias textuales de 2343 tuits. Los hallazgos principales evidencian que estamos en un contexto multiplataforma que obliga a los candidatos a comunicarse en diferentes lenguajes y valores, adoptando una nueva tendencia a mezclar mensajes duros y suaves en un solo tuit, y a reforzar el lado emocional con el uso de imágenes y símbolos. Se puede concluir que dentro del contenido se impone una narrativa emocional, altamente persuasiva, enfocada en historias personales que desdibujan los partidos políticos y que involucran temas de agenda en los que se mezclan valores premodernos, modernos y posmodernos.
