Abstract

If the official history accounts for the victories of the landlords, then, the narratives which preserves the memory of the poor, is not only an alternative for understanding the world, but a proper affirmation of their life. If they are not present in the official history, nor do they stop to circulates among the little ones. Likewise, the biblical text narrate the whole process of the presence of God next to the little of land. These narratives appears in several literary genres, and they are not absent in the legislative texts, that registered their life experience and affirmed their way of seeing the world. Therefore, the heart of Torah and the center of Gospel of Jesus refer to God who reveal himself to the little ones. He make present in their side like mercy, including in the experience of social formation or
design of the new society. To this end, it is intended to distinguish the social content of the biblical narratives of “ideologems”, such as ideological reductionism, according to the political unconscious of Fredric Jameson and the conception ofideology as a system of belief in Paul Ricoeur.
