Abstract:
The article analyzes the forms of discursive machismo that interfere in the modes of expression of the federal deputies in the committees and in the Plenary of the Chamber of Deputies. This is an exploratory analysis of a qualitative nature, based on the results of a focus group with advisors of the deputies and a set of 45 interviews, 19 with deputies and 26 with the advisory and monitoring teams of the parliamentary debates. Fifteen forms of discursive machismo were pointed out, some being more violent and others milder and subtle.
