Formation of the “victim” identity in President Juan Manuel Santos’ discourse on transitional justice in Colombia 2012-2016
Keywords:
victim, transitional justice, discourse, semiotics, peace agreementAbstract
The Colombian transitional process covers the period between the beginning of the peace talks between the Colombian state and the Colombian Armed Revolutionary Forces (FARC), and the signing of the Final Agreement for the End of the Conflict. This process took place in a context of discussions between different political forces, upon which the peace policy guidelines were defined and would be implemented by the government. Building upon this framework, this article explores how the victim’s identity was constructed in former Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos’ discourses on peace and transitional justice, in the period between October 12, 2012 (date of the start of the peace talks) and November 24, 2016 (date of the signing of the Peace Agreement). It seeks to identify, in general terms, some of the relationships between the semiotic acts that are deployed in former President Santos' discourse and the power relations to which these semiotic acts give rise to, or to which they respond.
