De los movimientos sociales a las ecologías de acción política

Abstract

In recent decades, various social and political collectives have proliferated whose modes of organization and action differ from the classic forms of political action, characterized by horizontal and networked forms of encounter. These local transformations are in dialogue with a series of events that have taken place worldwide, characterized by the takeover of public space, intense participation in social networks, plurality of slogans, and the extreme importance of placing the body in its most diverse forms at the center. From the analysis of these events and their repercussions on the new forms of collective action, we discuss the broadening of the meanings of the conceptualization of social movements by introducing the notion of ecologies of political action, trying to account for the emergence of these contemporary practical modalities that differ from the primary modes of collective action.
