Abstract
El entendimiento equivocado de aspectos de la realidad suele estar relacionado con una narrativa con la que se pretende establecer sentido y significado a hechos y procesos; esto no implica que por necesidad la narrativa sea fiel representación de la realidad a la que se refiere. Un caso de esto es el de la inteligencia, palabra con diversas interpretaciones, pero de interés para nosotros en tanto que nos indica el trabajo de dirección y planeamiento, determinación y obtención, procesamiento, análisis y produccion, así como difusión y explotación para la toma de decisiones. A pesar de su importancia real, es un concepto con frecuencia mal comprendido por corresponder a una representación distorsionada por la cultura popular especialmente en el período de la Guerra Fría, así como prácticas represivas en el ejercicio de la función estatal de inteligencia. Esto ha propiciado que quienes deben tomar decisiones toman la inteligencia con ligereza o desconfianza. En nuestro país el orden jurídico basado en la Constitución, considera varios conceptos fundamentales como lo son Seguridad Nacional, inteligencia y contrainteligencia, y otros más que perfilan su contenido.
The wrong understanding of aspects of reality is usually related to a narrative that seeks to establish sense and meaning to facts and processes; this does not imply that by necessity the narrative is a faithful representation of the reality to which it refers. One case of this is that of intelligence, a multivocal word but of interest to us as it indicates the work of collecting, analyzing and processing information for decision making. Despite its real importance, it is a concept often misunderstood for corresponding to a representation distorted by popular culture especially in the Cold War period, as well as repressive practices in the exercise of the state intelligence function. This has led decision makers to take intelligence lightly or distrustfully. In our country the legal order based on the Constitution, considers several fundamental concepts such as national security, intelligence and counterintelligence, and others that outline its content.
