LOSADA CUBILLOS, Jhon Jairo. Colonial implications of the Colombian national identity: between coloniality and genealogy. Rev. Cient. Gen. José María Córdova [online]. 2018, vol.16, n.21, pp.123-147. ISSN 1900-6586. https://doi.org/10.21830/19006586.298.
This article analyzes the concept of Colombian national identity, within the framework of postcolonial studies and, especially, through the work of Colombian philosopher, Santiago Castro-Gómez (1958), who approaches this phenomenon with a Foucauldian focus. This postcolonial perspective acknowledges the role of identity in the reproduction of colonial power - more so, when a nationalist imaginary such as Colombia’s is constituted-and, to that extent, it becomes relevant to understanding current social and cultural issues in the country. Thus, this article highlights two analytical categories: coloniality and genealogy. On the one hand, the contribution by coloniality will provide the theoretical arsenal and the connection with the colonial case. On the other, genealogy will establish the relationship with the methodological proposal adopted by Castro-Gómez.
