Description
De manera general, la corrupción se caracteriza como el abuso de un poder encargado, con el fin de obtener un beneficio particular. La gran corrupción ha sido abundantemente abordada desde diferentes perspectivas en las ciencias sociales, pero solo en tiempos relativamente recientes se ha otorgado una mayor importancia al estudio de la pequeña corrupción, la que emerge y se reproduce en prácticas cotidianas que se confunden con la lógica del intercambio privado de favores. Este interés ha implicado la adopción de una mirada culturalista para la comprensión de los significados que en contextos particulares le asignan los sujetos al fenómeno. Siguiendo este camino, nos preguntamos aquí por los significados que un grupo de estudiantes universitarios articulan colectivamente en torno a la corrupción, cuando se encuentran en situaciones sociales de habla. Suponemos que las interacciones lingüísticas que allí ocurren permiten identificar repertorios interpretativos, esto es, recursos culturales compartidos, disponibles para la descripción y la evaluación del fenómeno, recursos con los que los sujetos adoptan frente a la corrupción una posición no exenta de variaciones y tensiones. El acercamiento a estos significados se realizó desde una perspectiva cualitativa, empleando la técnica del grupo focal. La población del estudio son estudiantes de la carrera de educación, en la ciudad de San Pedro de Macorís, en República Dominicana. Identificamos tres de estos repertorios: el de la victimización, el de la aceptación-justificación y el de la superación ética.
In general terms, corruption has been characterized as the abuse of a commissioned power, in order to obtain a par-ticular benefit. Grand corruption has been abundantly approached from different perspectives in the social sciences, but only in relatively recent times has greater importance been given to the study of “petty” corruption, which emerges in practices of everyday life mingled with the logic of private exchange of favors. This concern has implied the adoption of a culturalist viewpoint for the understanding of the meanings that people assign to the phenomenon in particular contexts. Following this path, we want to explore the meanings that a group of university students in social speech situations collectively articulate around corruption. We assume that the linguistic interactions that occur there allow us to identify interpretive repertoires, that is, shared cultural resources, available for the description and evaluation of the phenomenon, resources through which people take a stance against corruption, that is not free of of vari-ations and tensions. The approach to these meanings was made from a qualitative perspective, using the technique of focus group. The population of the study are university students in the career of Education, in the city of San Pedro de Macorís, in the Dominican Republic. Three interpretative epertoires were identified: victimization, acceptance-justi-fication, and ethical overcoming.
