From academic communication to political discourse around COVID-19, in political science

Abstract

This document offers an exploratory study of the crisis generated by the coronavirus pandemic (Covid-19), from academic communication to political discourse. The world crisis situation has put into effect the problematic environment in terms of social policies, in an increasingly complex global communication context. The purpose of the work is to analyze the academic communication to the political discourse around Covid-19 in political science. The research methodology addresses the problem and seeks possible answers through mixed methods; selecting academic articles from various databases of the Core Collection - Web of Science and Scopus. As a result, it is obtained from the application of two software, that the VOSviewer, through titles and summaries of 12 articles, excluding structure labels and copyright declarations, managed to identify 411 terms, reduced to 73 with a restriction of 2 occurrences, where the term co-occurrence is grouped into 6 clusters; and, with the Atlati9 software, emotional stages are observed as a negative, neutral and positive political attitude towards Covid-19, extracted from the analyzed theoretical references that handle political speeches and academic communication, concluding that the latter is relevant in public appearances, impacting all sectors. © Revista de Ciencias Sociales 2022 All Rights Reserved
