| Sumario: | This paper analyzes the construction of the discursive subjects of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development: the State, the private sector, and civil society. We started from the sociolinguistics approach to investigate the discursive representations that operate in the definition of the subjects involved in the construction of sustainability. An inductive methodology was applied to postulate the analytical categories that best allow the qualitative description of the 2030 Agenda. The main finding is that, while the State is characterized as an active subject in the search for development, civil society tends to be described as a subject without agency and a passive recipient of public policies. At the same time, the private sector is defined as a key subject that is exempt from external regulation. Likewise, global trade is understood as the main transversal axis of the agenda, which is why the subjects described are positioned in relation to it. These results show the predominance of an economic perspective, which runs the risk of prioritizing capital accumulation over social development and environmental protection. |
