Entre discursos e imaginarios: análisis en torno al Camelot de John F. Kennedy y la Dama de Hierro de Margaret Thatcher

This article examines the construction of political discourses and imaginaries surrounding the John F. Kennedy-associated Camelot and the Iron Lady linked to Margaret Thatcher, based on the premise that the legitimacy of political authority depends not only on the exercise of power or governmental efficiency, but also on the capacity to produce symbolic representations that project authority and secure permanence in collective memory. In both cases, these imaginaries emerged from deliberate processes of construction aimed at specific political purposes, while also remaining subject to contestation and resignification, in which political actors, the media, and cultural productions played a central role.
