Description
Summary:This article presents a reflection on what social emergencies and the socalled "social revolts" have represented, which have been mobilized in Latin America in recent years, and which are not only referred to in the context of the health emergency; they go further, they involve various actors, symbolic, cultural, political and aesthetic expressions. The "riots", their protagonists and their expressions take a place in this text, to be observed from a conceptual, social, cultural, political place: the riots can be read as a crisis of illusions and boredom with the modernization offered by the neoliberal order; as psychosocial expressions that made collective imaginaries of resistance and project emerge.
