"The Performative Politics of El Presidente: A Critical Analysis of Season 2, Episode 5's MPC (Most Powerful Character) through the Lens of Postcolonial Theory"

This paper conducts a critical discourse analysis of Season 2, Episode 5 of the TV series El Presidente, focusing on the construction of the Most Powerful Character (MPC) and its implications for our understanding of performative politics in the context of postcolonial Latin America. Through a postcolonial lens, this study examines how the episode reinforces or challenges dominant narratives of power, identity, and resistance. By exploring the MPC's performative strategies and the power dynamics at play, this research sheds light on the tensions between authoritarianism and dissent in the region.
