GONZALEZ MONTERO, Sebastián Alejandro. BECOMING, WAR MACHINE AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS. CONSIDERATIONS ON THE BEGINNING OF A NEW LIFE. Univ. philos. [online]. 2012, vol.29, n.58, pp.67-108. ISSN 0120-5323.

A contemporary version of social movements must emphasize on the possibilities to create new forms of resistance focused on a perspective to reach other ways of living. We propose an événementielle view of social movements leaving no place to culturist connotations founded on the presumption emancipation processes to reach "better" identities involve loosing present identities. If trying an événementielle definition of social movements is worth that is because we hope better destinies exist in them. Freedom and collective creation of ethical alternatives to build a different life are needed. The idea is to defend an événementielle politics as a basis for a better understanding of social movements. The question we try to develop is: what political consequences can one draw out when it is considered that social movements assume they reflect the cruelty of life and an unavoidable violence that dissolve worlds, and demand the construction of new ones at the same time?

Palabras clave : event; revolution; social chance; social movements; social becoming.
