Abstract

In this paper the comparison of two Latin American social movements is made: the Chilean Student Movement (2011) and the # YoSoy132 movement in Mexico. The study of the two movements tries to decipher the characteristics of these, their differences and similarities. It compares with the intention of being able to observe its particularities. The cases are studied, first from a historical-descriptive view; second, we analyze the structure, the form of organization and the decision making; Third, we review strategies for mobilization and political action; fourth, we investigate communication strategies; and, fifth, we review the scope and possible successes of the two movements studied. For the development of these variables, semi-structured interviews were carried out with participants of the movements, which allowed us to reflect the actor’s perspective on his social complexity.
