Sin embargo, no ha sido tan frecuente abordar dicho análisis desde la producción y la construcción de los discursos de las grandes factorías de sentido, que no solo sirven para legitimar procesos como el de la desregulación sino que además modelan una subjetividad adaptada a un supuesto nuevo espíritu...
