Abstract

ACEVEDO RUIZ, MARÍA JOSÉ  and  YIE GARZON, SORAYA MAITE. We Owe Ourselves to the Land. El Campesino and the Creation of a Voice for the Fields, 1958-1962. Anu. colomb. hist. soc. cult. [online]. 2016, vol.43, n.1, pp.165-201. ISSN 0120-2456.  https://doi.org/10.15446/achsc.v43n1.55068.

In this paper we analyze the language and contents of the weekly publication, El Campesino, in order to establish how the efforts by the political and ecclesiastical elites of the country influenced the political behavior of the Colombian rural population at the beginning of the National Front (1958-1962). We argue that said effort implied: first, to appeal to different individuals as members of the "Colombian peasant population", in an attempt to mold the voice of this sector as a particular political subject; second, disseminate the narrative according to which the different sectors of the country are interconnected through a chain of moral debts; and, third, make the peasants the object of a triple interpellation (as Christians, Colombian citizens and farmers).

Keywords : hegemony; public sphere; National Front; El Campesino; peasants; interpellation.
