Cultural Senses of the Radio Rebelde Zapatista: imaginaries of other possible worlds

Abstract

Based on the theoretical-methodological proposal of Jesús Martín-Barbero, the main objective of this article is to analyze the sociabilities of the Zapatista Radio Rebelde, understood as the relationship between cultural matrices and reception skills. The broadcaster is a radio station from the Zapatista community of Caracol Resistance and Rebellion for Humanity, located in the Mexican State of Chiapas. In its programming, there are strong traits of the symbolic-dramatic matrix of indigenous peoples with critical contents of a rational-enlightened character. Their listeners take ownership of the station through imagery that connects their experiences in collectives and autonomous communities and their memories of engagement in social struggles.
