Abstract
Las consignas de protesta son actos poéticos efímeros que emergen en la calle, se gritan en colectivo y se olvidan con el tiempo. Aun así, su poder sonoro, emocional y simbólico transforma subjetividades, espacios y narrativas sociales. Estas aparecen en todas partes del espacio público y expresan los anhelos, las decepciones, el enojo y solidaridad de colectivos en lucha. Esta investigación se enfoca en desarrollar una antología poética para salvaguardar y difundir las consignas de lucha que retumban y se escuchan en el entorno urbano y social: No nos pararán. Esta es una publicación multimediática (impresa y digital) de consignas de lucha contemporáneas, recopiladas por medio de la colaboración con compañeros, colectivos y organizaciones de base comunitaria que abogan por la justicia social de diversos sectores de la población. Se consideran aspectos del lenguaje poético (rima, ritmo, metáfora, repetición, invocación) implementados en las consignas declamadas en diferentes manifestaciones sociales y cómo su uso potencia la eficacia comunicativa y simbólica de estos movimientos. También se analiza cómo las consignas –formas de poesía efímera y performática– movilizan afectos, construyen memoria y crean sujetos colectivos que denuncian las violencias del Estado.
Chants in protests are poetic and ephemeral acts that emerge in the streets, are shouted collectively and are forgotten over time. However, their emotional, symbolic, and sonic power transforms subjectivities, spaces, and social narratives. They appear everywhere in public spaces and express the longings, disappointment, anger, and solidarity of the collectives in struggle. This research focuses on developing a poetic anthology to safeguard and disseminate these rallying cries that resonate and are heard throughout the urban and social landscape: No nos pararán (They Will Not Stop Us). This is a multimedia publication (print and digital) of contemporary protest chants, compiled through dialogue and in collaboration with colleagues, collectives and community-based organizations that advocate for social justice across diverse sectors of the population. The project considers aspects of poetic language (rhyme, rhythm, metaphor, repetition, invocation) implemented in the chants that are cried out in various social demonstrations, and how their use enhances the communicative and symbolic effectiveness of these movements. It also analyzes how chants– forms of ephemeral and performative poetry mobilize affect, build memory, and create collective subjects that denounce State violence in its many shapes.
