Abstract This thesis investigates the political process in Spain and Catalonia during the Catalan election in December 2017. This regional election was unusual because of the independence process in Catalonia and its repression. Two parties, Ciudadanos (anti- independence) and Podemos (ambiguous position) and their leaders’ activity in Twitter was analyzed. It was explored from three perspectives: social networks, lexical and emotional discourse and ideological polarization. Firstly, social networks were used to see the properties of the support communities of both parties. Interestingly unlike Ps, Ciudadanos’ (Cs) metrics of cohesion showed that political communities of this party in Spain and Catalonia were remarkably well integrated. Secondly, using machine learning techniques, discourse cohesiveness of Ps and Cs’ politicians was analyzed regarding the lexical and emotional content of their messages. The results showed that even though Cs’ politicians were more lexically similar, Ps’ were more similar in terms of emotions. Specifically, the study of emotions in the discourse shed light on populist messages from Cs. This party used anger and disgust to take advantage the polarized political scenario. Lastly, with a sample of users (N=2000) in Twitter, the relationship between dispositional emotions and ideological polarization was investigated. Results showed that users predisposed to anger were significantly more polarized and those predisposed to fear were significantly less polarized. Interestingly, even though predisposition to fear decreased polarization, the interaction between fear and anger significantly increased it. These results have interesting implications regarding the increasing opportunities of politicians to target the electorate based on personality or other personal characteristics. Keywords: Catalonian independence, Twitter, social networks, emotions, political polarization, ideology, framing i Ackowledgments I am thankful for many people that offered their support and help. First, I would like to express my infinite gratitude to my supervisor Dr. Juan Luis Suárez. He was always available to discuss possible ways to strengthen the thesis, gave feedback and help me when I seemed to be stuck. I would also like to thank my other supervisor Dr. Anabel Quan-Haase for her support, enthusiasm and many comments that helped me to be more creative and to improve my work substantially. I would like to especially thank my family for the countless readings, hours of encouragement and immeasurable support. There are no words that would be a fair representation of what I owe to my mother, Julia for her patience and care, my brother, Javi for his intelligence and wit that helped me in the most doubtful moments and my father, Rafael for his passion and love. This thesis would not have been possible without them. Lastly, I would like to thank my peers, faculty and teachers at Western University for their kindness and for making the Master’s a much better experience. ii Table of Contents Abstract ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i Ackowledgments ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ii Table of Contents ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- iii List of Tables ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- vi List of Figures -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- vii Table of appendices ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ix Introduction ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 Chapter 1.

  • Cinc Claus Sobre Qui És Juan Antonio Geraldes, Candidat D'errejón A
    Política | | Actualitzat el 08/10/2019 a les 17:44 Cinc claus sobre qui és Juan Antonio Geraldes, candidat d'Errejón a Catalunya Politòleg de 31 anys, va ser número dos a la llista de Guanyem Sant Boi a les eleccions municipals del 26 de maig El candidat de Més País a Barcelona, Juan Antonio Geraldes Després de suar per aconseguir els avals quasi en temps de descompte, Íñigo Errejón té ja candidat per a Més País a Barcelona. El seu nom és Juan Antonio Geraldes, segons ha avançat El Periódico i ha confirmat NacióDigital, no és conegut pel gran públic i és politòleg. La seva tria, que preocupa especialment l'espai dels comuns, no està exempta de polèmica perquè fins fa pocs dies era militant de Comunistes de Catalunya, partit liderat per Joan Josep Nuet integrat a EUiA. A continuació, cinc claus de qui és Geraldes i per què la seva tria ha aixecat polseguera. 1. Nascut l'any 1988, Geraldes és politòleg i veí de Sant Boi de Llobregat. Ha estat vinculat a moviments estudiantils com el contrari al pla Bolonya. 2. Treballa com a consultor d'administracions públiques en el sector de les TIC i, per ara, no ha ostentat cap càrrec públic ni polític. 3. A les passades eleccions municipals del 26 de maig es va presentar com a número dos de la candidatura de Guanyem Sant Boi, formada per la CUP i Sobiranistes -partit liderat per Nuet, exlíder d'EUIA-, Som Aternativa i Moviment d'Esquerres, però no va obtenir representació. 4. De fet, va ser militant de Comunistes i ha participat en actes de Sobiranistes a Sant Boi.

    SPANISH DICTIONARY Felipe Lorenzo del Río Dictionary of meanings generated by www.wordmeaning.org INTRODUCTION www.wordmeaning.org is an open and collaborative dictionary project that, apart from being able to consult meanings of words, also offers its users the possibility of including new words or nuancing the meaning of existing words in it. As is understandable, this project would be impossible to carry out without the esteemed collaboration of the people who follow us around the world. This e-Book, therefore, was born with the intention of paying a small tribute to all our collaborators. Felipe Lorenzo del Río has contributed to the dictionary with 3284 meanings that we have approved and collected in this small book.
