TABOADA, María Beatriz. Approach to migrant subjects and migration processes in Social Sciences Textbooks. A case study. Educación [online]. 2018, vol.42, n.1, pp.20-38. ISSN 2215-2644.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/revedu.v42i1.23187.

This article goes deeper in some of the findings of a previous research named "Nosotros, los argentinos´: la construcción de la identidad nacional en libros de texto de Ciencias Sociales”,under development, where we have analyzed the way in which such identity is discursively constructed in text books aimed at high school education, currently being used in educational institutions in Argentina. One of the axes prioritized in the analysis has been the construction of migratory processes related to the national territory, focusing the attention on current discursive subjects and territorial displacement; aspects which will be treated in this article by means of a selection of a specific case which is part of the research corpus. In the focus suggested we made use of theoretical and methodological tools from the Discourse-Historical Approach (Wodak, de Cillia, Reisigl y Liebhart, 2009), considering mainly the way how discursive strategies (nomination, predicational and argumentation strategies) used in the aforementioned material articulate in the introduction of the themes being analyzed. The material selected let us examine one of the macro-strategies identified in the research corpus for the way of dealing with the migratory processes: the use of past tenses together with marginal and imprecise references to the present based on a number of presumptions. Besides, in this case it is also observed an explicit approach to cultural diversity as a means of making a weak connection to the discursive construction of migrating subjects identified in the proposal. Furthermore, the selection of these textual samples let us place their constructions in dialogue with others which have been analyzed in the general corpus of our research.
