RODRIGUEZ, Carlos Rafael Rea. Indigenous Movement, Ecologies and Counter-Hegemony in Nayarit (Mexico). Revista Crítica de Ciências Sociais [online]. 2023, n.131, pp.3-24.  Epub Sep 30, 2023. ISSN 2182-7435.  https://doi.org/10.4000/rccs.14743.

This article analyzes the indigenous movement in Nayarit, Mexico and examines some of the resistance struggles produced by the original peoples that make up this movement, addressing as well its counter-hegemonic capacity building to confront the domination of capitalist-colonial-heteropatriarchal modernity. The present work finds that the articulation of this social movement allows for recovering, updating and enhancing ontological and epistemological elements that have persisted over centuries and which remain, albeit reconfigured, as fully contemporary. The work is based on the theory of the epistemologies of the South, proposed by Boaventura de Sousa Santos, particularly in the operation of the sociology of emergencies. The analysis was carried out based on a bibliographic investigation and the analysis of pronouncements, as well as conversations, speeches, journalistic notes and interviews.

Keywords : epistemologies of the South; indigenous movements; indigenous peoples’ rights; Mexico; social movements.
