Anti-hegemonic social movements facing the crisis of the current system
Abstract
The scenario is one of dislocation and political liberation, as well as the proliferation of democratic demands that drive emancipatory struggles such as ecology, feminism, ecology, ethnic and religious minorities and anti-globalization movements such as the Landless of Brazil, the EZLN of Mexico, the piqueteros of Argentina , the outraged of Spain and the United States, those of the yes we can of Spain, among many others. All these movements reflect a voluntarist position before the ontological, anthropological and methodological coloniality resulting from the long cultural hegemonic process of history, especially the philosophy of modernity that "has not thought to the subject from its immediate reality, on the contrary, it has labeled as primitive and wild some of the social forms of which he was part "(Gómez Quintero, 2010, page 88). In this article, through a literature review, we seek to describe the main social movements that seek not only to resist, but, above all, to open up new possible scenarios in the face of the omnipotent form of hegemony in its multiple dimensions.
