摘要：Este artículo se deriva de una suerte de ejercicio etnográfico orientado hacia la determinación de la genética y condiciones de producción del sentido cotidiano que, sobre el Presidente Chávez, habíanse forjados por sectores populares urbanos. A tal fin fueron realizadas observaciones participativas anónimas, recurriendo a la directividad temática, en espacios etnográficos de libre acceso (carros por puesto), en la ciudad de Maracaibo, estado Zulia (Venezuela), durante el lapso 12/2 y 24/2 de 1999. Las ocurrencias temáticas tendieron a agruparse en torno a dos núcleos significativos: sentidos de omnipotencia y de construcción de un nuevo orden; a partir de los mismos fueron construidas realidades de segundo orden, intervenidas hermenéuticamente a través de dispositivos conceptuales, cuya elección se adhiere a las estructuras valorativas pre-constituidas de los autores. De allí la naturaleza de las reflexiones conclusivas: Chávez, como representación de un dispositivo de salvamento de colectivos excluidos que parecen haber retornado a temporalidades premodernas, así como de la necesidad de un reordenamiento autoritario de la sociedad, que implique una refundación traumática de mediaciones inéditas.
其他摘要：This article derives from a sort of ethnographic exercise oriented at determining the genetics and the productive conditions of a quotidian feeling that has been forged in popular urban sectors as to President Chávez. With this goal in mind, anonymous participatory observations were made, utilizing thematic direction in ethnographic spaces of popular public access (route taxis) in the city of Maracaibo (Venezuela), during the period February 12th to24th, 1999. The thematic occurrences tended to group themselves around two significant positions: a sense of omnipotence, and the construction of a new order, and around these two positions, realities of a second order were constructed, and intervened with hermeneutically through conceptual contrivances, the conception of which was related to value structures pre-constructed by the authors. From this emerged the nature of the concluding observations: Chávez appears as a representation of a collective salvation figure for segments of the population that had been previously excluded from representation, and he had apparently returned to a pre-modern era. There was also the need for an authoritative reordering of society which implied the traumatic re-founding of unedited mediations.
