SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Instituto Cervantes: Conversations in the Observatorio: Occupy and Indignant Movements in Spain and USA
DESCRIPTION:<p align="center"><strong>Speaker: Professor Francisco Moreno-Fernández </strong></p><p align="center">(University of Alcalá, Spain, and Executive Director of the Observatorio at Harvard University).</p><p align="center"> <strong>Introduction: Diana Sorensen </strong></p><p align="center">(Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Director of the Observatorio).</p><p align="center"><strong>RSVP: </strong><a href="mailto:info-observatory@fas.harvard.edu"><strong>info-observatory@fas.harvard.edu</strong></a></p><p><strong> </strong>In recent years, a number of Indignant Citizens Movements have arisen around the world. They are known in Spain as the Spanish Revolution, the Indignants Movement, the 15M Movement, or the Movement of Outrage; and in the US as Occupy Wall Street or Occupy different cities. This social protest expresses public outrage at an unequal economic system, an unrepresentative political party system, and a social structure perceived to undermine individual freedoms. This essay analyzes the demonstrations with a focus on the importance of language and communication at the origin, development, consolidation and expansion of the Movement. The analysis shows that the Indignant Movement was built on a linguistic and communicative foundation which evolved horizontally rather than vertically.</p><p><em>En los últimos años, una serie de movimientos ciudadanos de indignación han surgido en todo el mundo. En España son conocidos como </em>Spanish Revolution<em>, movimiento indignado o movimiento 15M, y en los Estados Unidos como </em>Occupy Wall Street<em>, </em>Occupy Movement or Movement of Outrage<em>. Esta protesta social expresa la indignación pública por un sistema económico desigual, un sistema de partidos políticos poco representativo y una estructura social percibida como limitadora de las libertades individuales. En este encuentro se analiza el movimiento indignado enfatizando la importancia del lenguaje y la comunicación en el origen, desarrollo, consolidación y expansión de este fenómeno social. El análisis muestra que el movimiento indignado se construye sobre una base lingüística y comunicativa de evolución horizontal.</em></p>
