Title: Visualizing poverty discourses, representations, and policies.
Description: The research carried out emerges as a interdisciplinary need to address public policy on poverty reduction in Colombia during a particular moment and context in the history of Colombia.

In this exercise, the author links three theoretical currents for the interpretation of the situation of poverty: the critical studies of discourse, the theory of social representations, and the approaches to the analysis of public policy related to the discursive turn, from the analysis of the media political speech of President Juan Manuel Santos in the period 2010-2014.

Methodologically, an interdisciplinary articulation between disciplines and multidisciplinary approaches is established, respecting the internal dynamics of each one, where concepts that allow a broader scope of analysis are articulated; that is, understanding the function that concepts have in the theory to which they belong and their possible function when linking them with others.

The analysis involves the challenges of the triangulation of theories and methods, which enriches the interpretations made.

The results identify the way in which the political media discourse as a sociodiscursiva practice that legitimizes the public policy of poverty reduction in Colombia and configures social representations that give way to sociocultural phenomena of concealment and naturalization, as well as sociopolitical phenomena of exclusion and inequality.

Research is an input theory and methodologic for researcher works oriented interdisciplinary work where the triad: discourse, society and cognition, allow a better interpretation of reality.
