Political Communication and the Median Space of Religious Experience

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.
