Abstract
En este artículo que introduce el monográfico se empieza abordando las diversas dimensiones del ciclo histórico neoliberal y sus crisis en el Sur, con particular referencia a América latina, posiblemente la región donde las contradicciones de la modernidad occidental está siendo mayormente contestada por amplios movimientos sociales. Se aborda las diferentes vertientes de la dimensión democratizadora de un accionar que combina protesta y propuesta, que abre espacios deliberativos y de resistencia al mal gobierno, que además en el plano étnico y cultural produce nuevos discursos e imaginarios emancipadores intensa y creativamente reelaborados, que , poco a poco, empiezan a atravesar la institucionalidad estatal.
This article introducing the monograph begins by approaching the various dimensions of the historical neo-liberal cycle and its crisis in the South, with particular reference to Latin America, possibly the region where the contradictions of western modernity are being most widely contested by broad social movements. It examines the various angles of the democratizing dimension of an action that combines protest and proposal, which opens up spaces for deliberation and for resistance to bad governance. At ethnic and cultural level this also generates intensely and creatively devised new discourses and emancipating ideas, which are slowly starting to filter through into State-wide institutions.
