De la narrativa al discurso Un análisis de las narrativas, voces y sentidos del discurso gaitanista en Colombia (1928-1948).

This article presents the results of a research work that aimed a comprehensive explanation of the way in which the meanings of the 'Gaitanista' discourse (1928-1948) were and are construed in Colombia from a corpus of texts compiled via three selection criteria: 1. Subjectivizing voice: texts produced by spokepersons that publicly express their intellectual adherence to the 'Gaitanista' movement. 2. Objectivizing voice: historiographic texts characterized by their claim to be scientific truth. 3. Polyphony of voices: texts characterized by their inclusion of diverse voices. The theoretical approach was based on a cross between communication as mediation (Martín-Barbero, 2003) and hegemony theory (Laclau, 2005). The methodological strategy is qualitative and socio-semiotic. As an analytical tool we resorted to a triangulation of qualitative techniques: narrative and discourse analyses. This paper presents a combination of the dialogue between the approaches of Martín-Barbero and Ernesto Laclau, and concludes by gathering the main findings of discourse analysis.
