Abstract:

The text proposes to uncover relevant mythical, ritualistic, religious aspects present in political communication. With modernity we note that in democratic societies symbolic communication recovers into a form of cultural and ideological pluralism the essential aspects of a legacy based on religious pluralism and plural symbolic expressions. The democratic human being of contemporary societies acts in public space in a manner in many ways similar to human conduct in traditional societies in the median space of religious experience. Secularization as a positive value of modernity does not eliminate the presence of the sacred from the modern political imaginary and from the symbolic communication manifested in the form of political communication.
