MONTOYA LONDONO, Catalina  and  VALLEJO MEJIA, Maryluz. POLITICAL RHETORIC FRAMING IN THE LAW OF VICTIMS AND LAND RESTITUTION IN COLOMBIA. anal.polit. [online]. 2015, vol.28, n.84, pp.23-38. ISSN 0121-4705.  https://doi.org/10.15446/anpol.v28n84.54637.

The Law 1448 of Victims and Land Restitution, in force since January 2012, is one of the main flagship programmes of the reelected Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos aimed at settling an historical debt with the victims of the armed conflict. Drawing on qualitative analysis, the article identifies competing rhetorical frames embedded in the discursive strategies of politicians, economic groups, academics, NGOs and FARC. The Article illustrates the contribution of rhetorical analysis to framing analysis. At the same time, it argues for the effectiveness of frames when these are based on tropes and rhetorical figures such as the metaphor and the irony, whose argumentative schemes result from a critic and creative exercise contributing to unveil the truth.

Keywords : Colombian Armed Conflict; Land policy; Rhetorical Framing; Argumentative Strategies; Fallacies.
