Abstract

Resumen En este artículo argumentaré que una política del historicismodetermina el discurso jurídico y de esa manera, construye un relato lineal del tiempo en que los eventos se suceden de forma cronológica con el fin de ordenar la vida de las personas afectadas por ese discurso. Para mostrar la manera como dicho proceso tiene lugar, se expone la tensión suscitada entre la idea de nación presente en la Constitución Política colombiana de 1991 y la noción de identidad que promueve el multiculturalismo jurídico, mediante un estudio de algunas de las sentencias más relevantes en este aspecto, proferidas por la Corte Constitucional colombiana. Abstract: A politics of historicism determines legal discourse to build a linear narrative of the time in which events happen. This fact produces a chronological view that influences the life of affected people who are under this discourse. Therefore, this article explains how this process takes place in order to evidence the tension between the concept of nation that is embodied in the Political Constitution of Colombia (1991) and, the notion of indigenous people identity that is promoted by multicultural laws. The analysis is based on the most relevant jurisprudential pieces of the Constitutional Court of Colombia towards the problem.
