Faced with the renewed prominence acquired by the military factor in Latin America and in particular the role that castrenses have played in various crises that have shaken the region throughout 2019, from Venezuela to Bolivia, through Ecuador or Chile, this work delves into what is defined as a process of "remilitarization" in the region. Specifically, it delves into a new feature int the armed forces in Latin America: being used with a visual component in situations of political crisis or when the policy-makers power is questioned. Therefore, first, the work deeps on the theoretical-methodological discussions in International Relations to analyze this visual component. Subsequently, the dynamic of remilitarization that emerged in Latin America will be presented from a historical perspective, pointing out its main features as well as the effects in the region. And in the end, it will be completed with a visual and verbal discourse analysis of qualitative character that will pay attention to the role played by the Latin American armed forces in two political crises that have erupted during October 2019 in the region: Ecuador and Chile. Then, a double message is projected visually: on one hand, the support of the Armed Forces when the president's leadership is questioned; and on the other side, the attempt to dissuade those who support protests.

Ante el renovado protagonismo adquirido por el factor militar en América Latina, y en especial el rol que han tenido los cuerpos castrenses en distintas crisis que han sacudido la región a lo largo de 2019, desde Venezuela a Bolivia, pasando por Ecuador o Chile, este trabajo profundiza en lo que se define como un proceso de "remilitarización" en la región. Concretamente, se ahonda en uno los rasgos singulares que está teniendo el nuevo protagonismo de las Fuerzas Armadas en América Latina: su uso con un componente visual en situaciones de crisis políticas y cuestionamiento de los mandatarios. Por ello, en primer lugar, se revisará y sintetizará el estado de los debates teórico-metodológicos en las relaciones internacionales para analizar este componente visual. Posteriormente, se expondrá como marco histórico la dinámica de remilitarización en la que se inscribe el análisis en América Latina, señalando sus principales rasgos y efectos en la región. Y para acabar, se completará con un análisis de discurso visual y verbal de carácter cualitativo que prestará atención al rol que han cumplido las Fuerzas Armadas latinoamericanas en dos crisis políticas que han irrumpido durante el mes de octubre de 2019 en la región: Ecuador y Chile. Como se verá, en ambos casos se proyecta visualmente un doble mensaje: por un lado, el apoyo de las Fuerzas Armadas en un momento de cuestionamiento del liderazgo y la gestión del mandatario en cuestión; y por otro, la pretensión de disuadir a quienes secunden las protestas que originan las alocuciones. ; Faced with the renewed prominence acquired by the military factor in Latin America and in particular the role that castrenses have played in various crises that have shaken the region throughout 2019, from Venezuela to Bolivia, through Ecuador or Chile, this work delves into what is defined as a process of "remilitarization" in the region.
