Resumen
The research, carried out within the framework of the Master in Communication-Education, presents an approach towards the understanding of different recognized characters of the independence process of Colombia through monuments located in the historic city downtown. This semiotic analysis proposes a systematic treatment by the syntactic, semantic and pragmatic levels of a corpus of six monuments, understood as historical archives, providing other interpretations of urban memory about events and actors that helped to consolidate the idea of nation. Finally, an advantage of the semiotic reading of this corpus to re-read the history on which some current accounts of an emancipated nation are based and our ways of mythifying and sanctifying heroes in benefit of a romantic and harmonious historicization of our future. In that sense, we want to expose a set of urban senses about who we are and, therefore about what we can be.
