Abstract

Fifty years later we return to the “Mendozazo”, with a set of works that revisit this historical milestone "from below" through a lens that makes living conditions of subaltern sectors observable, as well as  their capacity for historical/political agency and their experience in a thompsonian sense. In that direction, this dossier analyzes the multiplicity of actors involved in this mass act: the teachers, the children, the university students, the bank workers, the future members of one of the guerrillas that developed later in the province, and the lawyers who dealt with the defense of the detained. At the same time, it addresses its resonances in the present, by studying the popular rebellion of December 2019 known as "Mendozazo del Agua" or "Mendozaguazo" in the face of the legislative reform that sought to enable mega-mining.
