MENESES CARVAJAL, Aldo Juan y CASTILLO REYES, Javier. Redefinition of Politics and Power in the Discourse of the Zapatista Movement. Estud. Polit. [online]. 2020, n.58, pp.46-65. ISSN 0121-5167. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.espo.n58a03.
This paper aims at unveiling how the discursive ethics of the Zapatista Movement redefines the traditional notions of power and politics. This is addressed from discourse theory, understanding Zapatista approaches from a normative, communitarian and critical perspective, given that their discourse generates institutions which legitimize their praxis using «Commanding-Obeying» as a deontological principle. This principle redefines the notions of politics and power, shaping the emergence of a producer-produced subject within the organizations, an outcome that challenges the dichotomy between an individual determined by the structure and individuals determining structures. Therefore, we are able to find structural changes in a specific territory, stemming from discourse and not necessarily appropriating places representing power as the State. This discursive production allow us to see power as an horizontal and non hierarchical concept and politics as an inclusive, diverse and heterogeneous space.
