« ¡Sí, se puede, adelante Presidente! » Des affects d’indignation jusqu’aux institutions, Evolution de l’imaginaire pro-démocratique du « 15M » dans l’Espagne contemporaine

Abstract

« Yes we can, go ahead President! ». This formula resumes the sens’ evolution of the social movement born the 15th of May 2011, also known in France as « The outraged people/indignados movement », from the indignation affects
to the effervescence of collective action and until the coming office of recent political parties which attempt to embody the institutional counterpart. This article aims to evaluate and analyse the evolution of the 15M signifier « 15M », which feeds on arborescent pro-democratic imaginary. In 2020, the signifier 15M metamorphoses lead to a polymorphic, polyphonic movement, fragmented in plethore social organisations which have as « meta » the 15M, from collective social actions to municipalist electoral lists, passing by the occupation of self-managed social center. Thus, we operate back and forth between the levels of macro-national politics and local micro-politic, with some study cases in Córdoba, southern Spain.
