INSTITUTIONAL RESPONSE TO CITIZEN PARTICIPATION AGAINST EXTRACTIVISM IN COLOMBIA: THE DISCURSIVE DIMENSION OF A PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH CLIMATE CHANGE. anal.polit.

This paper explores the public response to the political participation of citizenship against the extractivism in Colombia, taking into account the contribution of this form of industrial exploitation of the environment to climate change. We develop a Critical Discourse Analysis of the political assertions contained in the Ruling SU-098/2018 of the Colombian Constitutional Court, using a critical theoretical framework to inform our analysis. Our findings expose the way in which a citizen participation instance, such as the popular consultation, is deprived of its effects in favor of an extractivist model of development. Under its appearance of neutrality, the legal discourse transports ideological contents in favor of a model of development that contributes significantly to climate change and to the establishment of a governmental reason that restricts democracy and public deliberation about the environment, the development and the territory.

Palabras clave : extractivism; climate change; critical discourse analysis; social sciences.
