A guerra do look e o figurino das idéias: mídia e moda na campanha eleitoral

The author analyses, under a semiotic-cultural view, the rhetoric that guides the subject of the look's war through the study of the commutations Dressing/Politics operated by the printed media. T he text proposes a barthesian approach between journalism, fashion and politics.
