El movimiento zapatista: impacto político de un discurso en construcción
Abstract
What impact had the Zapatist discourse, emanated from the rebellion of January, 1994 in the mexican political system? Who were the dreamers of this group who “hooded” dared to stand against an army, a state and the hidden powers behind them? What trends do define the principles and responsibility claimed for the ezln, and the movement organized around them? The purpose of this research is to answer these questions, developing critical reflection primarily a political environment and social impact of the Zapatist discourse, considering that it has become the main weapon of a movement that 11 days after the insurrection of 1994, renounced violence and since then, has been marked by a political project in constant construction and redefinition. As hypothesis, it is argued that the “Zapatistas” intended as a broad political and social movement, during the latest 15 years has had an increasing impact political in Mexico, in general, and in Chiapas, in particular, due primarily to the construction of an inclusive and inconclusive discourse, essentially postmodern. As methodological technique, the so called critical discourse analysis is used.
