Abstract
GOMEZ-ABARCA, Carlos de Jesús. The Political Images and a Collective-Action Framework in San Cristóbal de Las Casas, Chiapas (2010-2013). LiminaR [online]. 2018, vol.16, n.1, pp.25-39. ISSN 2007-8900. https://doi.org/10.29043/liminar.v16i1.562.
The objective of this article is to interpret political imagery in San Cristóbal de Las Casas, Chiapas, i.e., activists’ artistic expressions that generally include texts and pictures. I prepared an elementary visual semiotic analysis of a photographic record (2010-2013) that includes 63 visual productions, using an analytical framework approach. I conclude that these expressions, besides being a vehicle for political statement, constitute interpretative frameworks that guide the collective actions of various political actors and are in themselves a form of collective action.
