Social movements: the challenge of mobilizing, propose and affirm

Abstract

A path in permanent construction covered by social movements, which are part of the cultural, economic, social, and political changes of societies. I try to do an analysis of this history, focused on the most recent period, taking as a starting point the organizations around specific demands and class issues, then, secondly, the incorporation of groups to identity politics, environmental, and social causes, and also the inclusion of subjective dimensions, and, lastly, the current movements and countermovements, each one with its demands that can be specific, multiple, or even without focus. I look for clues that not only allow, but also provoke reflections on the current moment, encompassing mobilizations, protests, and the use of digital platforms by social movements,  while also pointing out forms of organization, motivations, approaches and specificities that place them in the current complex scenario
