Desplazamientos discursivos de la representación campesina en la Nicaragua pre y post-sandinista

Abstract

This article argues that in representative texts of the conflict for hegemony frompre and post-sandinista revolution a constitution of the subaltern peasant as national subject can be read. This constitution motivates literary texts, recounts of the contra war andis a basic fundament of the sandinistas land reform. After the displacement of the revolutionary government, a rewriting of these ideas comes to be visible in texts like autobiographies and political memories framed by traditional nationalism and the transition pact ofthe elite. This way the subaltern seems to reach just a precarious political representation.
