Summary: The citizen and his multiple voices: An Imaginary current / potential. Case study in a city of Colombia, South America: Pereira. By: Dr. Olga Lucia Bedoya. The questions with which we approach the press, as a reference point for empirical complejizar citizen category were: Which one (s) are updated ideas / potencializan in the local press Pereira on the "citizen"? And what are its basic distinctions that allow that medium build such a reality?. To work we question the theory of Niklas Luhmann, especially the concept of Complexity, respect, communication. With the discussion Espistemológica based on the concept of reality as a social construction and replacement of the discussion subject / object, the operating / observation. Construction of the model analysis: linking theory / fact. Moment 1: Relationship element to element Operationalization of the Category sense Shape: what now is not civic Citizen Watch without quality of life Citizen insecurity are corrupt Potential Citizen: Citizen Watch quality of civic life insurance Citizen Watch not corrupt Moment 2: Relationship Relations Looking at the relationship between elements current / potential were emerging relationships deeper organizing these relationships, which enunciamos well: If there is public space for citizens "is no security for the citizens' safety if there is no public space with space there are public safety and quality of life for citizens. If there is no public space civility civility if there is no allegation of corruption, and so on. Moment 3: In this state of the investigation we wonder then, that the emphasis in the press to update / potencializar that reality in this period 2000-2003? In response, we came out of the system that we analyze and look at the environment that temporality, and distinguish the relationship issue of prensa-administración politics of the moment, because what he was giving us this analysis requires us to look at this relationship. The press in this period, publicized the government plan of this administration. For this, evoked the class citizen associated with the issues mentioned above. Moment 4: Responding to the initial question, What was the present / potential of the class citizen recreated in the press Local Pereira 2000-2005? The reality is updated to the era that the administration wanted to recreate policy shift: a citizen not civic, insecure, without quality of life, corrupt, without public space, not participatory, emerging as potential from this manner of appointing , "type of citizen who wanted to build" civic, security, quality of life, not corrupt, participatory public space. Paradoxically, we can express: from what appointed unwanted. This took us to move forward in our second observation / operation, which was condensed into our second question: What were the basic distinctions that allowed construct such reality? Based on what we had so far, explicitamos three: 1 - The relationship visible / invisible. The class citizen is invisible while it is not necessary to name it, is visibiliza as it is required to appoint, for invisibilizada disappear back to their interest or associated with other topics. It d say is contingent. 2-Relationship: Solution to the Problem-Action. The visibiliza class citizen when you have the solution 8 No one 7ea problem still has not been careado. To create the problem on the "city", in our case, it evokes the category, "citizen", either as a barrier or as a solution to the problem. 3 - The primacy in the government plans to shift the relationship Espacio-Gente not Gente-Gente. This means that the category "Citizen" was raised to relieve (justify) a physical transformation of the city. Therefore, the relationship Gente-Gente does not appear as prominently in the development plans of the government of the day. Moment 5: In conclusion emphasized in this exhibit three: 1 - The investigative process made it possible to understand how to build an object of study or research question, which is the central concern of qualitative research. 2, - Let build an analytical model based on the Theory / data for the category complejizar citizen as an heterogeneous and non-homogeneous and unquestionable as found in the state of affairs of this investigation. 3 - Leave raised an analytical model, based on the built so far, which allows the Contingency the creation of the citizen category, according to the plans of government of government policy shift. What would analyze permanently, observation of first and second order in the political climate in the localities.
