Resumen de La rebelión del coro y la normalización de la protesta en Iberoamérica (reedición)
- español
En la segunda década del siglo XXI las movilizaciones de protestas se han extendido por todas las regiones del mundo. No es fácil encontrar otro momento histórico en el que la calle haya tenido tanta influencia y en tantos sitios. Iberoamérica se ha convertido en el espejo de un mundo sacudido por el malestar. La «rebelión del coro» iberoamericano nace del desasosiego cotidiano de la precariedad ignorada. En la vida ordinaria arrastra una rebeldía latente, que cuando emerge desborda los cauces políticos de forma desarticulada. La normalización de la protesta, como constante que agita continuamente la convivencia en Iberoamérica, se ha convertido en una manifestación de sospecha, no solo de desconfianza, y también de impotencia para inducir un cambio. Sospecha e impotencia frente a una estructura de poder que no ofrece soluciones a problemas reales ordinarios, que resultan ajenos al resto de quienes los padecen. Penurias cotidianas diferentes que afectan cada una solo a una parte, dejando indiferente al resto, que carga con las suyas propias.

In the second decade of the 21st century, protest mobilizations have spread to all regions of the world. It is not easy to find another historical moment in which the street has had so much influence and in so many places. Ibero-America has become the mirror of a world shaken by unrest. The Ibero-American «rebellion of the choir» is born out of the daily restlessness of ignored precariousness. In ordinary life it drags a latent rebellion, which when it emerges overflows the political channels in a disjointed way.
The normalization of protest, as a constant that continually agitates coexistence in Latin America, has become a manifestation of suspicion, not only of mistrust, but also of impotence to induce a change. Suspicion and impotence in the face of a power structure that does not offer solutions to ordinary real problems, which are alien to the rest of those who suffer them. Different daily hardships that affect each one only to one part, leaving the rest indifferent, who carry their own.
For 23 years, when the «Latinobarometer» began to measure regional public opinion, there has never been such a great perception of loss and setback in Latin America as now. This perception is complicated by another added, Ibero-America is the region with the highest level of interpersonal distrust in the world. The two social apprehensions predispose, in difficult times, to fragmentation and prolonged social conflict that is difficult to overcome. The concurrence of factors can end up generating the perfect storm.
