La resistencia al proceso de paz en Colombia: un análisis de la hegemonía cultural desde la intelectualidad orgánica del Centro Cultural Cruzada en Medellín (2016- 2017)

Abstract

This paper presents preliminary advances of a research that investigates the production and social reproduction of the antagonistic discourse to the peace negotiations between the Colombian State and the armed insurgency of the FARC-EP, in the context of the city of Medellin (2016-2017). Having as theoretical axis the conceptualizations of Antonio Gramsci, and from the perspective of Critical Discourse Analysis, based on an ethnographic exercise, the study of language and social power relations in economic, political and racial dimensions are integrated; thus, an approach to the construction of the cultural hegemony of the ruling classes in Medellín is made, examining a case of its organic intellectuality. Finally, it is provisionally postulated that it is possible to explain citizen opposition to the peace negotiations in terms of hegemony and subalternity.
