Resumen
Que la palabra indio se utilice en Colombia como insulto parece asunto de poca monta. No obstante su superficial aparición en el lenguaje y su corriente uso en la cotidianidad, el hecho de que indio, es decir aquella palabra con que se pensó denominar a los descubiertos del siglo XV, se utilice como una manera de vejar al prójimo, señala las sin salidas de la sociedad colombiana, o por mejor decir: concierne de manera directa a la violencia que caracteriza a esta nación. El presente texto es un esfuerzo por parar mientes en las circunstancias tanto históricas como estructurales que llevaron a la utilización de indio como denuesto. Para ello se apoya en el método psicoanalítico, es decir, en el estudio del significante indio. Por lo tanto, estas líneas se basan en que del mismo modo en que se articula el lenguaje también se producen las relaciones sociales, y así entonces, discernir aquello que sostiene la utilización de indio como vilipendio, podría aportar elementos para cernir la incesante repetición de la violencia en el lazo social.
Abstract. In Colombia is commonly used the word Indian as insult, and it is also a fact that this utilization is generally accepted. Indian is also the first manner by which the Native American were denominated back in the XVth century. The fact that Indian is used both as an insult and as denomination shows the difficulties endured by Colombian society and also pertains the violent character of this nation. This investigation is an effort to understand both historical and structural circumstances which explain the use of Indian as a vilification. For that purpose Indian is analyzed by psychoanalytic method. That is to say: Indian is studied as signifier. This investigation postulates that the way by which language is articulated is the same of the production of social relations, therefore to discern why Indian is an insult could contribute to understand the repetition of violence in Colombian society.
