description The present work is the result of a research work that investigates, from a glottopolitical perspective, the role of language in the context of public policies in the Colombian education system. Bilingualization is understood as the process of establishing an educational model for bilingualism whose circulating discourse within institutions has established positive social representations associated with the desire of the country to be accepted by the globalized community. The concepts of  discourse and its determining and determined function by means of the communicative interactions regarding the formation, transformation, maintenance and suppression of some social representations that provide apparent legitimacy to the process of participation in the internalization of markets, assigns theoretical support to the study. Collaterally, the official discursive exercise on the implementation of an educational bilingualism also begins to generate a process of reconfiguration of new identities that undermine regional and national identities. The critical analysis of discourse (Fairclough, 1989, 1992, 1995, 2006; Van Dijk, 2004, 2009; Wodak, 2003) made it possible to discern the role of official discourse in the search of social acceptance of bilingual policies. The Colombian Ministry of National Education has been responsible for circulating a discourse, imbued with institutionalized power that exerts coercion on a passive social actor, which promotes ignorance of a traditional and natural  multilingual country, in pursuit of an artificial bilingualism. The reproduction of the discourse on bilingual education in  Colombia, reveals the study, a socio-political bias that leans towards the transcendental determinations that favor the processes of mercantilist internationalization, and minimizes procedures for safeguarding and strengthening regional culture.  The representation of institutionality, the need to be bilingual and the supranational identity together with the mediation of the curriculum in the context of globalization, suggest a change of identity archetype.

La presente obra es el resultado de un trabajo de investigación que indaga desde una perspectiva glotopolítica, sobre el papel  de la lengua en el contexto de políticas públicas en el sistema educativo colombiano. La bilingualización se entiende como el  proceso de instauración de un modelo educativo para el bilingüismo cuyo discurso circulante desde la institucionalidad viene  estableciendo unas representaciones sociales positivas asociadas al anhelo del país en ser aceptado por la comunidad  globalizada. Los conceptos sobre discurso y su función determinadora y determinada a partir de las interacciones  comunicativas en la formación, transformación, mantenimiento y supresión de algunas representaciones sociales que  proporcionan legitimidad aparente al proceso de participación en la internacionalización de mercados, asigna sustento teórico  al estudio. Colateralmente, el ejercicio discursivo oficial sobre la implementación de un bilingüismo educativo empieza también a generar un proceso de reconfiguración de nuevas identidades que socavan las identidades regionales y nacional. El análisis crítico del discurso (Fairclough, 1989, 1992, 1995, 2006; Van Dijk, 2004, 2009; Wodak, 2003) posibilitó el discernimiento sobre el rol del discurso oficial en búsqueda de la aceptación social de la política de bilingüismo. El Ministerio de Educación Nacional colombiano se ha encargado de circular un discurso impregnado de poder institucionalizado que ejerce coerción sobre un actor social pasivizado, que impulsa el desconocimiento de un país tradicional y naturalmente multilingüe, en procura de un bilingüismo artificial. La reproducción del discurso sobre educación bilingüe en Colombia, según el estudio, devela un sesgo sociopolítico que se inclina hacia las determinaciones transcendentales que favorecen los procesos de internacionalización mercantilista, y minimiza los procedimientos de salvaguarda y fortalecimiento cultural regional. La representación de institucionalidad, la necesidad de ser bilingües y la identidad supranacional junto con la mediación del currículo en el marco de la globalización, sugieren un cambio de arquetipo identitario.
