Changing the system requires traditional actions
'Performances' by Enrique Gil Calvo

The seven minutes of terror until the robot landed on Mars Curiosity became the seventh minute of triumph. The device then took its course and he is expected to meet its objectives. But when the victory is no more than seven minutes usually does not achieve its purpose. The laborer leader Juan Manuel Sánchez Gordillo Andalusian captained the assault on Tuesday to a supermarket, where cars were filled with food to distribute among the people. The action had the expected significance of certain protests: a moment of glory, or seven, or four days of media coverage. The message was-there are people starving and white-collar thieves, but the cure of such a situation may require more effective remedies.
Recently proliferate singular forms of protest, with the help of some new technologies, all colorful, bringing the message for a few hours with tremendous excitement due to the help of new communication channels. Flo6x8 flamenco group has international resonance for his performances of singing and dancing in the offices of Bankia, as well as video of housewives playing in the yard macroeconomic policy (it bluntly, is titled), the unions have also vigils turned to poetry and song, the anti-bullfighting jumped into the ring, kissed the gay groups, marches naked cyclists ... And the motion 15-M a successful and unique form of protest.
Singular ¿? "New, new, can only be said to be organizing the protest through social networks, since the technology itself is new. Moreover, history is full of collective reactions, not only the worker, similar: remember the playfulness, when burning machines, "said CCOO leader Fernando Lezcano. Or women riding in shorts, to the disquiet of the self-righteous. Right. But it is true that the Internet has brought some benefits to the protests, especially in the calls: "Lets meet new people with different characteristics in a few hours, agree, send a message, that is something that the media not favor traditional, "says Stéphane M. Thick, director, member of the 15-M and known for his activism. But there is a point where you can disagree: in the "agree" citing thickness. "It is true that the Internet provides a massive convening power and fast, but it can be like the foam of beer and come down in a while, because maybe there is a background program leading to an end," says Juan Carlos Revilla , professor of Social Psychology at the Complutense. "It's just the opposite of what happened years ago, which reported on the protests through television, radio, newspapers, was harder to start, but once headed up better, many people share a goal common and more likely to achieve, "he adds.
"Now people informed goes out," said a member of 15-M
This would also tinged Stéphane M. Coarse, because he believes that now the mass protest is more informed, thanks to social networks: it is what he calls citizenship literacy. "People leave informed, not only are many people walking behind a slogan, you know why they are doing, there is literacy in the protest," he says. Thanks also to the Network to connect with various professionals and experts participating in the protest providing expertise. "Otherwise we could not have mounted 15-M movement to Rato, who is nothing more and nothing less than to bring a complaint before the National Court," says Gross. In this way prevents the foam dissipates beer. "Sure, because the 15-M has institutionalized a bit, somehow," said Revilla. After all, the movement finally resulted in protests classic, that is, large demonstrations and rallies. Can we say, then, that traditional protests languish for new ways? "They are compatible, but I think it really serves no pressure is a more or less striking, with its moment of glory, ephemeral. What works today as yesterday, are the actions that add people and generate collective consciousness. And that, despite being created a climate of opinion it ultimately undermines the conscience of the people. When politicians or businessmen say they do not change their attitude more strikes or demonstrations that do not really do not disturb them. Sure that affect them, it's just trying to protect, use that as a deterrent message: if they give immediately by winning the protester and risk to convene more. But after a few months there are changes and modifications, only the camouflage under various excuses, "the union Lezcano.
However, these new activists defend their "radical creativity". Flamenco Group members Flo6x8 hide their identities under pseudonyms and explain it by saying that the "confrontation of body and capital" is to "empower society" and promote personal artistic.
Flamingos are considered, artists and activists. Define their protest as Flemish situation. "Dancing in front of a cashier's context within the bank to do is to confront art with reality," he explained.

"Any protest is an act of communication with a purpose, a reaction to something that does not please us. The goal is to reach more people and be effective, "Manuel Ángel Vázquez Medel summarizes, researcher and lecturer of Audiovisual Communication, Advertising and Literature at the University of Seville. Vázquez Medel confirms that this phenomenon occurs because the original protests "with many voices, it is more difficult to succeed." Crises happen and it's hard to be heard. We must use original formulas. In this context, creativity becomes the main value of the protests. A phenomenon is not new, but if you purchased a new dimension where premium that "radical creativity". The teacher uses to explain to George Lakoff, a researcher and linguist conceptual systems partner for Obama. "When someone provokes you, you usually fall into the frame. It is advisable to break the frame and not be reactive but proactive "
The Association of State Directors and Managers of Social Services in October organized a distribution of soup kitchen for various capitals. Serve food on the street and a double row of men and women dressed as of old will come with your dish. "People have to display the regression that the attack on social services will result, regression to the past. But beware, the demonstrations accompany these data and rigorous studies that refute what sells the Government should not lose that aspect. "
Remove the protests of the conventional framework is part of the success of the actions of Flo6x8. They have entered the banks and their lobbies in scenarios become multiplied by thousands of spectators through the recordings. They have caused great effect.
"Any formula is welcome if respectful," says a union
Lezcano warns, however, against "sensationalism". "I understand that there are circumstances in which recourse to measures of this nature," he says, referring to the assault to the supermarket by Sánchez Gordillo. "And I do not call it little attention, as the protests of Greenpeace, for example, but I always think that sometimes these actions leave quiet the consciences of its promoters and followers, but ultimately do little damage system. If you really want to change things, only mass action can be put against the wall to the governments, "he says.
Does not believe that they are exhausted strikes or demonstrations on Organization and Communication secretary of the UGT, José Javier Cubillo, although "welcomes other ways to call attention whenever they are respectful. "In certain consumer strikes are proposed, for example, is difficult to measure the damage and consequences. Perhaps the loss of image of a company or a person has more depth, but we must tread carefully, "he says. The production line has been broken and now a factory does not produce a comprehensive way, from first to the last screw, therefore, an employer finds it easier to wade through a strike. "It is true, are uncomfortable, but sometimes you find a solution, because production has been relocated," he says. But do not believe that traditional protests are exhausted.
Or, as Professor Revilla, "maybe the left, or unions, which traditionally have organized protests in the street, passing through a crisis of identification with them, a certain skepticism, but to bring together many people can very quickly be only the foam of beer. "
