MAGRINI, ANA LUCÍA. From Narrative to Discourse An analysis of the Narratives, Voices, and Meanings of the 'Gaitanista' Discourse in Colombia (1928-1948). Signo pensam. [online]. 2010, vol.29, n.57, pp.400-416. ISSN 0120-4823.

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: i. Subjectivizing voice: texts produced by spokeper-sons 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.

Keywords : Gaitanista' discourse; 'Gaitanista' narratives; communication as mediation; hegemony theory; 1903-1948 -Speeches; Hegemony -- Colombia -- 1928-1948; Discourse analysis.
