The work experience allowed, in the context of interpretation of texts and speeches, to recognize the advantages of knowing the methodology with a qualitative nature to carryout theoretical constructions and to learn to reconstruct and construct texts and intertexts to deepen the inquiries that go beyond the corpus of analysis.
