Abstract

In this article we propose to resolve questions related to the activities linked to the construction of the image that students teaching elaborate in the communicative exchange; the type of discursive strategies they adopt, whether politeness, impoliteness and self-facework, as well as the form of the image: repair, protection or enhancement. We articulate with the above the political tactics that are configured in the normalist discourse and its functioning. Based on the theory and the knowledge of the corpus, we start from the following assumption: The care of the self-image by the normalistas is carried out through self-image activities, particularly in the form of enhancement, they resort to the tactics of legitimization and resistance to strengthen the image of themselves as teachers and to the delegitimization of the teachers of university origin to distance themselves from them. In this study we turn to Goffman's social image theory and cultural sociopragmatics with the contributions of Bravo and Hernández; for the study of political tactics to the proposals of Chilton and Schäffner and Chilton.
