Resumo: The rise of conservative parties with Eurosceptic tendencies in different European countries is a relevant phenomenon of the dispersion forces that emerge in periods of economic crisis in the heart of the regional integrative processes. This work describes some salient aspects of the argumentation used by one of those political parties: The United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP). Our analysis accounts for some of its argumentative strategies, particularly those referring to the problem of autonomy of the countries within the European Union and the immigration policy. This argumentation has been exposed by the members of UKIP and its leader Nigel Farage in discourses and interviews but also, and specially, in a series of posters designed for the European elections in May of 2014. We conclude that this series of posters represents a complex and subordinated argumentation that constantly appeals to fear, to a populism technically and ideologically structured to stage a hero: the candidate Farage.Keywords: visual argumentation, euroscepticism, populism, rhetoric, UKIP.

Este trabajo describe algunos aspectos salientes de la argumentación empleada por uno de dichos partidos: el United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP). Nuestro análisis da cuenta de algunas de sus estrategias argumentativas, en particular de aquellas referidas a la cuestión de la autonomía de los países dentro de la Unión Europea y a la política de inmigración, que los miembros de UKIP, y su líder Nigel Farage, han plasmado en discursos y entrevistas pero también, y especialmente, en un conjunto de afiches de propaganda diseñados para las elecciones europeas de mayo de 2014. Concluimos que el conjunto de afiches representa una argumentación compleja subordinada que apela constantemente al miedo, al populismo técnica e ideológicamente estructurado, para poner en escena un héroe, el propio candidato Farage.Palabras clave: argumentación visual, euroescepticismo, populismo, retórica, UKIP.Unisinos2015-07-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopio/article/view/cld.2015.132.04Calidoscópio; Vol. 13 No. 2 (2015): May/August; 176-188Calidoscópio; v. 13 n. 2 (2015): maio/agosto; 176-1882177-6202reponame:Calidoscópio (Online)instname:Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)instacron:Unisinosspahttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopio/article/view/cld.2015.132.04/4820Santibáñez Yáñez, CristianPorto López, Pabloinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2015-10-22T10:45:00Zoai:ojs2.revistas.unisinos.br:article/9273Revistahttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopioPUBhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopio/oaicmira@unisinos.br || cmira@unisinos.br2177-62022177-6202opendoar:2015-10-22T10:45Calidoscópio (Online) - Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)false
