Ética de la diferencia y la alegría en la asamblea Zapata #YoSoy132

Abstract

This article, which is part of a wider research, focuses on the expression of an ethics of difference and joy that appeared in the context of the #YoSoy132 (#IAm132) movement and which suggests new ways of experiencing consensus and dissensus as constitutive parts of the same process, as well as the role of the party and of art as generators of relationships and subjectivities during the demonstrations and other spaces in which these young people participated during the aforementioned social irruption. This reflection is based on interviews with members of the Asamblea Zapata (Zapata Assembly) of the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana Unidad Xochimilco (Metropolitan Autonomous University, Xochimilco Campus).
