Performance Constellations maps transnational protest movements and
the dynamics of networked expressive behavior in the streets and
online, as people struggle to be heard and effect long-term social
justice. Its case studies explore collective political action in
Latin America, including the Zapatistas in the mid-'90s, protests
during the 2001 Argentine economic crisis, the 2011 Chilean student
movement, the 2014-2015 mobilizations for the disappeared
Ayotzinapa students, and the 2018 transnational reproductive rights
movement. The book analyzes uses of space, time, media
communication, and corporeality in protests such as virtual
sit-ins, flash mobs, scarfazos, and hashtag campaigns, arguing that
these protests not only challenge hegemonic power but are also
socially transformative. While other studies have focused either on
digital activism or on street protests, Performance Constellations
shows that they are in fact integrally entwined. Zooming in on
protest movements and art-activism in Mexico, Argentina, and Chile,
and putting contemporary insurgent actions in dialogue with their
historical precedents, the book demonstrates how, even in moments
of extreme duress, social actors in Latin America have taken up
public and virtual space to intervene politically and to contest
dominant powers.
