ZAPATA-MORA, Sindy Marcela  and  SARRAZIN, Jean Paul. The Legitimacy of Resistance: A Case of the Net of Artists and Popular Activists in Bello. Ágora U.S.B. [online]. 2019, vol.19, n.1, pp.115-131. ISSN 1657-8031.  https://doi.org/10.21500/16578031.4124.

This article examines the processes of legitimacy put into practice by the members of the Network of Popular Artists and Activists in Bello, a group whose motto is “to resist through art.” Thanks to a qualitative methodology, with an emphasis on discourse analysis and ethnographic observation, it is demonstrated that in this type of initiatives cohabits necessary practices and speeches to their legitimation both internal and external. Likewise, it is concluded that the organizational processes of resistance imply fluctuating forms of domination and an unequal distribution of symbolic capital among its members.

Keywords : Legitimacy; Symbolic Capital; Power Relationships; Domination.
