Anti-imperialism as Part of the Habitus of the Colombian Communist Party
This paper seeks to answer how the anti-imperialist language used by the members of the Colombian Communist Party (PCC) became a habitus of itself, according to Bourdieu. In this sense, the purpose of this research is to identify how anti-imperialism was included in the language used by the members of the PCC, who turn it into a disposition to think, understand and even feel the social world. The anti-imperialist language of the PCC, which can be traced to the emergence of general inconformity in Colombia by the loss of Panama, was constituted as a habitus of the PCC by adopting a theoretical language based on Vladimir Lenin’s ideas. Anti-imperialism, then, was fundamental to the communists’ analysis on different topics. This appropriation made anti-imperialism a coherent response to the social world, but also a way of understanding it.
