SOLIS CRUZ, Jesús. Citizenship and Cultural Democracy: The Challenges of Political Culturality in Chiapas. Rev. pueblos front. digit. [online]. 2017, vol.12, n.23, pp.1-21. ISSN 1870-4115.  https://doi.org/10.22201/cimsur.18704115e.2017.23.280.

A series of political events reported in indigenous municipalities in Chiapas State has reopened a debate about cultural rights and their recognition in Chiapas State. Occurring within an atmosphere in which the ruling political class was rejoicing about the consolidation of electoral democracy in Chiapas State, these events seem exceptions within the framework of a model political reality. Using the notion of event, this article takes up three political events that took place in three different municipalities with the objective of delineating reflection and analysis of the political positions and conditions from which various different agents are claiming cultural rights. Setting each event parallel to the theoretical developments regarding this type of claim, it reviews the possibilities and inconsistencies of a differentiated rights proposal within the reality of Chiapas State.

Palabras llave : cultural rights; multiculturalism; pluralism; local politics; event.
