Abstract
JOVEN BONELO, Ana María and NUNEZ ESPINEL, Luz Ángela. Hidden Discourse of Peasant Resistance in Cundinamarca (1920-1936). Anu.hist.reg.front. [online]. 2018, vol.23, n.1, pp.143-171. ISSN 0122-2066. https://doi.org/10.18273/revanu.v23n1-2018006.
The objective of this article is to analyze the hidden discourse of resistance among the peasantry of Viotá and Sumapaz in Cundinamarca (1920-1936), through the discourses of resistance theory developed by James Scott. The research was based on the revision of historical sources (official reports, press, testimonies and popular literature), which made direct or indirect reference to the discourses and practices of the resistance. According to this revision, it was evident that during the period of crisis of the landlord hegemony, the binomial public discourse / hidden discourse acquires particular nuances. Specifically, it can be concluded that the strength of the peasant movement in this region allowed for some forms of hidden discourse to be openly vindicated as part of the political struggle for better working conditions and the recognition of colonists’ statu.
