Resumen

GUERRERO RIVERA, Javier  y  SOLER CASTILLO, Sandra. Representation of Indigenous People in the General Laws of Education in Colombia. Folios [online]. 2020, n.52, pp.71-86.  Epub 14-Dic-2020. ISSN 0123-4870.

This research paper explores the relationship among education, legal discourse, and racism. From the Critical Discourse Analysis perspective, the authors analyze the three general laws of education in Colombia, and the juridical and political texts that support them. This analysis aims at revealing the discursive structures and strategies used to represent the indigenous people between 1870 and 1994. The authors argue that there has been an attempt to invisibilize the representation of indigenous people as social actors in the country. Moreover, when represented, they have been portrayed as uncivilized, savage, dispossessed individuals, and even inhuman. The ideal of education that the three laws outline is presented as a homogenizing option that seeks, through actions such as reducing, evangelizing or civilizing, to get them out of the deficient condition in which they find themselves and lead them on the path of development and social, economic and cultural progress, arguments presented as common ideals.

Palabras clave : Legal discourse; education; racism; representation of actors and actions.
