From identity discourses to social activism: social movements at the juncture of the new Cuban constitution

Abstract:

This article discusses the incorporation of various actions (marches, demonstrations, performative actions, digital activism and demands for legislation) into the repertoire of Afro-descendant, feminist, LGBTI and animalists in Cuba and their relationship with the process of approving a new Constitution. From the analysis of both the trajectories, learning and experiences of movements, as well as the new scenario (where constitutional replacement, socio-economic changes and greater access to digital tools converge) it is concluded that these innovations strengthen their ability to articulate demands and position themselves as valid and legitimate interlocutors before the State
