Resumo: Building on the existing literature this paper analyzes how – at the turn of the century and into the 21st century – activists in Ecuador, Venezuela and Bolivia constructed narratives that focused on “the people in action”. Advocates of the insurrections framed myths of the pure and oppressed people revolting against the tyranny of economic and political elites. Elites responded by differentiating the authentic people from the mob. Indigenous and other poor and non-white protestors were portrayed by elites as the rabble, as uncivilized, and in general, as a danger to democracy.

Elites respondieron al diferenciar “el pueblo auténtico” de la turba. Manifestantes pobres, no blancos e indígenas fueron retratados por las élites como la chusma, los incivilizados y, en general, como un peligro para la democracia.Com base na literatura existente este estudo analisa como – na virada do século e no século 21 – ativistas no Equador, Venezuela e Bolívia construíram narrativas voltadas para “o povo em ação”. Os defensores das insurreições enquadraram as suas ações em mitos dos povos puros e oprimidos se revoltando contra a tirania das elites econômicas e políticas. Elites responderam diferenciando “o povo autêntico” da turba. Manifestantes pobres, não-brancos e indígenas foram retratados pelas elites como a ralé, como não civilizados, e, em geral, como um perigo para a democracia.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2015-11-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/index.php/iberoamericana/article/view/2130410.15448/1980-864X.2015.2.21304Estudos Ibero-Americanos; Vol. 41 No. 2 (2015): Dossier - Contemporary Popular revolts in a Comparative Perspective; 328-350Estudos Ibero-Americanos; Vol. 41 Núm. 2 (2015): Dosier - Revueltas Populares Contemporáneas en una Perspectiva Comparada; 328-350Estudos Ibero-Americanos; v. 41 n. 2 (2015): Dossiê - Revoltas Populares Contemporâneas numa Perspectiva Comparada; 328-3501980-864X0101-406410.15448/1980-864X.2015.2reponame:Estudos Ibero-Americanosinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSenghttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/index.php/iberoamericana/article/view/21304/13880Copyright (c) 2015 Carlos De La Torreinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDe La Torre, Carlos2017-04-03T20:15:41Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/21304Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/index.php/iberoamericanaPRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/index.php/iberoamericana/oaieditora.periodicos@pucrs.br||eia@pucrs.br1980-864X0101-4064opendoar:2017-04-03T20:15:41Estudos Ibero-Americanos - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
