description This reflection article aims to present some considerations on the relevance of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) for the study of masculinities. It is based on the proposal of van Dijk (1999) and the multidisciplinary potential of the CDA to expand the hermeneutical act on the subject of masculinities. Pointing out that the discourse influences the masculinization of the subject through the circulation of metaphors in everyday life and that they operate at the subjective level to establish gender asymmetries. It is observed that masculinity, as a result of the historicity of human practice, is not a static identity, so there is a horizon of possibilities to break the alienating discourses of the supposed gender truth politics. The contribution ends by warning that it does not seek to idealize counterhegemonic discourses, but to strengthen the epistemic framework on the subject of masculinities

Se parte de la propuesta de van Dijk (1999) y el potencial multidisciplinar del AC D para ampliar el acto hermenéutico sobre el tema de las masculinidades. El discurso influye en la masculinización del sujeto a través de la circulación de metáforas en la vida cotidianidad que operan a nivel subjetivo para establecer asimetrías de género. Se advierte, que la masculinidad al ser resultado de la historicidad de la práctica humana, no es una identidad estática, por lo que existe un horizonte de posibilidades para romper con los discursos enajenantes de las supuestas políticas de verd ad de género. No se pretende idealizar los discursos contra-hegemónicos, sino fortalecerel marco epistémico sobre el tema de las masculinidades.
