Perguntando geografias e caminhando calendários: fragmentos de um mosaico zapatista (1994 - 2020)

Abstract

Starting from a perspective of history, in which it is closely related to the subjects and scenarios of its production, this research deals with the most varied spatialities linked to the Zapatista Movement, so that we understand space as a protagonist in discursive actions and constructions , structural and subjective aspects of this rich and complex socialindigenous movement. Peering into the different spatial dimensions, crossing the local, national, international and metaphorical / symbolic / imagery / aesthetic scope of its construction as a historical movement, the Zapatista spatialities - which we bring here as fragments of a mosaic - are surveyed in order to reveal hidden shadows in the history of the movement, as well as in Mexico and the world, and to contribute to a denser historical understanding of the process that culminated in the armed upheaval of these indigenous people in the state of Chiapas - and, in the same way, to offer new perspectives for worldviews , identities, cultures and histories that build the current Mexican and world scenario, from the context of globalization and geopolitical relations ideologically linked to neoliberalism. For this, we have primary sources such as official Zapatista speeches, as well as representations about zapatism, which contribute to the understanding of its signs and symbols. In short, our proposal is to raise new historical provocations from this movement and its relations with the spaces in the search for a new Mexico and new sociability for a new world.
