ARZUAGA MAGNONI, Javier e ARTEAGA BOTELLO, Nelson. Entre la liturgia y el contra-performance. La disputa por el zócalo de la ciudad de México durante la movilización magisterial de 2013. Intersticios sociales [online]. 2017, n.13. ISSN 2007-4964.
From the educational reform that was set in motion by the government of Enrique Peña Nieto in 2013, the independent teachers' union set up camp in Mexico city’s zocalo to demand that the President stop a reform that was considered to go against their labor rights. The teachers' conflict not only questioned the government's ability to carry out reforms, but at one point it questioned the government's ability to perform in the zocalo one of the key ceremonies of the Mexican political liturgy, the Grito de Independencia, which symbolically allows the endorsement of the country's constitution as the nation-state. When the government visualized the cry could be held, but not within a space occupied by a movement that questioned it, it decided to evict the demonstrators and fill the area with related persons. However, it is this action that, in our view, transformed a routine governmental ceremony, out of question and criticism, an act that was in many ways particularly subject to public scrutiny. This paper analyzes how this dispute was decoded by the print media, particularly major newspapers nationwide.
