Las transformaciones postcrisis. Movilizaciones espasmódicas y 'gran evento'

Abstract

This paper aims to be a theoretical reflection on the ruptures and new articulations of the forms of political mobilization in the post-crisis period. We propose that in the 2010s, catalyzed by digital technologies, three major ruptures crystallize: socioeconomic, in which the precariousness of working and vital conditions implies the re-emergence of a material social critique; temporary, in which the accelerated dynamics of late capitalism intensify the primacy of the short term; and cultural, in which fragmentation translates into a sense of insecurity and uncertainty. All of this results in a transformation in the forms of mobilization, which tend toward ephemeral, spasmodic collective action. This can lead to the emergence of the Great Event, where the main thing is to physically bring people together and recover the sense of community.
