Desde hace décadas, el concepto de populismo ha sido uno de sumo interés para la ciencia política, especialmente en América Latina. En 2016, comenzó a ser utilizado extensivamente por medios de comunicación, políticos y la ciudadanía en general en otras latitudes para referir a un modo particular de hace política asociado a figuras como Donald Trump, Marine Le Pen, Pablo Iglesias y Matteo Salvini. Este modo de hacer política, presente en Europa y Estados Unidos, tuvo también un nuevo pico en Latinoamérica, donde actores políticos tanto de izquierda como de derecha comenzaron a ser llamados populistas. Este artículo problematiza dicha denominación y propone una distinción conceptual entre los componentes populista y popular de la discursividad política. Para ello, presenta un enfoque semiótico del populismo, consistente en concebirlo como una práctica discursiva apoyada en el uso de una estructura narrativa particular. Esta definición permite desarticular lo populista de lo popular. Palabras clave: Populismo. Popular. América Latina. Semiótica. Discurso. Abstract: For decades, the concept of populism has been of interest to political scientists, especially in Latin America. In 2016, it began to be used extensively by the media, politicians and citizens in general in other parts of the world to refer to a particular way of doing politics associated with figures such as Donald Trump, Marine Le Pen, Pablo Iglesias and Matteo Salvini. This way of doing politics, present in Europe and the United States, also had a new peak in Latin America, where political actors from both the left and the right began to be referred to as populists. This article problematises this denomination and proposes a conceptual distinction between the populist and popular components of political discursivity. To this end, it presents a semiotic approach of populism, which consists of conceiving it as a discursive practice based on the use of a particular narrative structure. This definition makes it possible to disarticulate the populist from the popular. Keywords: Populism. Popular. Latin America. Semiotics. Discourse
