GARCIA LOZANO, Luisa Fernanda. THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE MIRROR: 1969 THE NATIVE AS A PERSON?. Prolegómenos [online]. 2013, vol.16, n.31, pp.87-97. ISSN 0121-182X.  https://doi.org/10.18359/dere.721.

Part of the different hypotheses that support the developments of law sociology in Colombia revolve around measuring the distance between law and society and understanding the influence of law on social reality, becoming the study object par excellence. In order to establish said relation, the article sought to rebuild the social imaginary regarding the ideas and thoughts of a particular region and time by collecting news sources between the years 1969 - 1970, about the personality attribute of the Colombian natives. To do this, the article rebuilds a particular event brought up to local criminal justice, "La Rubiera" massacre, to observe that fateful perception about the personality of the indigenous people. As a reflection phenomenon produced by a mirror, this metaphorical tool of social sciences allows to study, through this historic event, the responsible institution for sustaining social control: Law. Institution that, socially speaking, is responsible for attributing and describing personality, as a legal category, to the citizens.

Keywords : Personality; Mirror; Indigenous people; Law; "La Rubiera" massacre.
