Abstract

Resumen: El artículo explica el funcionamiento del discurso dominante y su sistema de referencias en Macario (El llano en llamas, 1953) de Juan Rulfo (1917-1986). Se propone una lectura del cuento en tanto alegoría de la dominación de una dictadura y del estado de alienación sufrido por el pueblo mexicano durante el período inmediatamente anterior a la Revolución mexicana (1910). Para conseguir tal propósito, se analiza ampliamente el estatus sociosemiótico del sujeto hablante y la red de convergencia de los signos que lo definen. Se logra así poner de relieve una precisa codificación de las elaboraciones sociales en la estructura discursiva, que permea la percepción desplegada por la figura del sujeto de la enunciación. Abstract: The article explains the functioning of the dominant discourse and its system of references in Macario (El llano en llamas, 1953) by Juan Rulfo (1917-1986). It proposes a reading of the story as an allegory of the domination of a dictatorship and the state of alienation suffered by the Mexican people during the period immediately preceding the Mexican Revolution (1910). To achieve this purpose, the socio-semiotic status of the speaking subject and the convergence network of the signs that define it are widely analyzed. Thus, it is possible to highlight a precise codification of social elaborations in the discursive structure, which permeates the perception displayed by the figure of the subject of the enunciation.
