Resumen
Este trabajo se propone estudiar la construcción de la imagen de María Eugenia Vidal en las elecciones provinciales de 2015. Se recuperan los aportes de los estudios iconográficos inspirados en Warburg y de la estética disposicionalista esbozada por Bourdieu para reflexionar acerca de las condiciones sociales e históricas que explican su efectividad en términos de producción de adhesiones políticas. De este modo se establece que la apariencia de Vidal remite a elementos simbólicos y visuales ligados, por un lado, a los imaginarios de la pureza y el desinterés en la iconografía mariana y, por otro, a las rutinas femeninas disponibles en la esfera política argentina. Es así como la imagen de Vidal pudo encarnar sensiblemente las ideas de “cercanía”, “transparencia” y “honestidad” pregonadas en la campaña de Cambiemos, así como también profundizar la polarización con su principal contrincante, acusado mediáticamente de vincularse con la corrupción y el narcotráfico. Finalmente, se articulan las conclusiones del presente trabajo con distintos estudios sociológicos sobre las formas de reclutamiento y trabajo territorial de PRO-Cambiemos, para destacar el modo en que cierta concepción desinteresada de la política, proveniente de las prácticas religiosas de caridad, constituye una de las vías de adhesión a esta fuerza.
This paper aims to study the construction of the image of Maria Eugenia Vidal in the 2015 provincial elections. The contributions of the iconographic studies inspired by Warburg and the dispositionalist aesthetic outlined by Bourdieu are recovered to reflect on the social and historical conditions that explain their effectiveness in terms of production of political supports. We establish that Vidal’s appearance refers to symbolic and visual elements linked, on the one hand, to the imaginaries of purity and disinterest in Marian iconography and, on the other hand, to the feminine routines available in the Argentine political sphere. This is how Vidal's image was able to embody the ideas of "closeness", "transparency" and "honesty" proclaimed in the Cambiemos campaign, as well as deepening the polarization with his main opponent, accused by the media of being involved in corruption and drug trafficking. Finally, the conclusions of the present work are articulated with sociological studies on the forms of recruitment and territorial work of PRO-Cambiemos, in order to highlight the way in which a certain disinterested conception of politics, coming from religious practices of charity, constitutes one of the forms of affinity with this force.
