Investigating the complex interrelations between culture and
politics in a wide range of social movements in Latin America, this
book focuses on the cultural politics enacted by social movements
as they struggle for new visions and practices of citizenship,
democracy, social relations, and development. The volume explores
the potential of these cultural politics for fostering alternative
political cultures and social transformations. Theoretical and
empirical chapters assess and build upon novel conceptions of
culture and politics in a variety of disciplines and
fields-particularly anthropology, political science, sociology,
feminist theory, and cultural studies. The notion of the cultural
politics of social movements provides a lens for analyzing emergent
discourses and practices grounded in society and culture, the state
and political institutions, and the extent to which they may
unsettle, or be reinscribed into, the dominant neoliberal
strategies of the 1990s. Contributors explore how social
movements-urban popular, women's, indigenous, and black movements
as well as movements for citizenship and democracy-engage in the
cultural resignification of notions such as rights, equality, and
difference, thus altering what counts as political. By highlighting
simultaneously the cultural dimensions of the political and the
political dimensions of the cultural, the book transcends the
distinction between "new" and "old" social movements and thus
significantly renews our understanding of them.
