Abstract

COMPTE NUNES, Guillem. Processes of rejection of the party political system and attachment to non-partisanship in post-alternation in Mexico. Espiral (Guadalaj.) [online]. 2019, vol.26, n.76, pp.53-95. ISSN 1665-0565.  https://doi.org/10.32870/eees.v26i76.7061.

This article presents the results of a research, which looks for complement the literatures about the social construction of the representation crisis that Mexican democracy goes through. For this purpose, a comparative analysis of political trajectories of participants in a contentious group, Congreso Nacional Ciudadano (Conaci), in Mexico City, is made. The article shows how this crisis is constructed biographically, and how biography connects to collective action and the Mexican political system. In addition, it explores the position of the analyzed group, conceptualized as post-partisanship utopia. Finally, it tentatively verifies the hypothesis of an irreversible biographical transition from the discredited partisan political system to an attachment to an utopian nonpartisanship.
