Se sostiene que análisis de contenido, análisis de discurso y análisis estructural se diferencian no solamente por el empleo de distintas unidades de registro sino por su afinidad con postulados teóricos generales y de teoría sustantiva. Así, el análisis de contenido favorece una escisión entre el Estado entendido como aparato institucional y la posición social desde la que se lo significa. El análisis de discurso tiende a una definición del Estado en tanto espacialidad social. Finalmente, el análisis estructural destaca a lo estatal como capacidad simbólica.The article proposes a systematisation of qualitative analysis techniques based on theoretical assumptions about the state that are associated with them. It is argued that content analysis, discourse analysis and structural analysis differ not only in their use of different observation units but also in their affinity with general theoretical postulates and substantive theory. Thus, content analysis favours a split between the state understood as an institutional apparatus and the social position from which it is signified. Discourse analysis tends to define the state as a social spatiality. Finally, structural analysis tends to emphasise the state as a symbolic capacity.61-81esopenAccessAnálisis de contenidoAnálisis del discursoAnálisis estructuralEstadoarticuloAutor y Facultad de Ciencia Política y Relaciones Internacionaleshttps://doi.org/10.35305/tyd.vi50.699Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International You are free to: Share — copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format Adapt — remix, transform, and build upon the material The licensor cannot revoke these freedoms as long as you follow the license terms.
