Abstract
El presente estudio tiene como objetivo explorar el papel de las asambleas como espacio metodológico y político insertado en la tradición y en la lógica habitual de los movimientos sociales de carácter participativo y democratizador. Conocer el papel de las asambleas permitirá no sólo poder describirlas mejor sino que también puede facilitar su mejora y optimización como dispositivo de trabajo colectivo tanto en su diseño como en su ejecución. El contexto actual en el que se desarrollan las asambleas es el de una crisis de desconfianza política, una democracia representativa agotada que provoca recelo y que descansa en la inercia social, una crisis económica que acentúa las desigualdades y una preeminencia absoluta de los modelos neoliberales en lo político, lo económico, lo social y lo ecológico. De ahí que hayamos hecho una revisión de varios elementos teóricos de referencia para enmarcar y explicar el papel de las asambleas y fundamentar el trabajo empírico. La situación actual de la democracia y los valores culturales que la mediatizan; las formas de construcción de la realidad social; los procesos psicosociológicos de identidad social, atribución social e influencia social; los modelos que explican los movimientos sociales y las aportaciones teóricas en torno a las asambleas. Para realizar la investigación hemos optado por partir del propio discurso de las personas que participan en las asambleas. Nuestro enfoque cualitativo, a través entrevistas en profundidad, y el análisis, basado en la Teoría Fundamentada, ha tenido como propósito generar explicaciones sobre las funciones que cumplen las asambleas en los movimientos sociales orientados al cambio. Los resultados de la investigación se expresan en la descripción del imaginario de las asambleas que tienen las personas que participan en ellas y en la exposición de una serie de características de las asambleas, expresadas en forma de funciones, que pueden ser útiles para poder optimizarlas...
This study aims to explore the role of assemblies as a methodological and political tool that is part of the tradition of social movements focused on civil participation and democracy issue. Understanding the role of assemblies will allow us to describe them better, but also to enhance and improve their design and development as a tool for collective work. The current moment in which assemblies take place is defined as a context of increasing political distrust, a depleted representative democracy that however arouses suspicion and goes on its own inertia and an economic crisis that increases social inequality with encouraged neoliberal models in the political, the social and the ecological context. We have therefore reviewed several theoretical references that could frame and explain the role of assemblies nowadays and to base the empirical analysis. Such as the current state of democracy, the cultural values that influence it; the construction of social reality; the psycho-sociological processes that are behind social identity, social attribution and social influence; the models that explain social movements and the theoretical framework for assemblies. The starting point of this research is the discourse of those who participate in assemblies. The qualitative methodology, in-depth interviews and grounded theory analysis, attempts to describe the assemblies’ role in social movements aimed at change. The results of this research are shown in the description of the image that people who participate in assemblies have and in the proposal of the main characteristics, expressed as the most useful functions in order to optimize them. The findings about the assemblies’ image are focused on their democratic role, on the stress that structures their existence as a social agent, on the difficulties that disturb them and on the influence of the context...
