“They Are Fumigating the Coronavirus.” Conspiracy Rumors on Social Networks and Their Political Uses in Mexico

  • Amparo Marroquín Parducci

This essay seeks to respond to the discussion presented by Rossana Reguillo on the politics of visuality, violence, and technopolitics. For this, I review the state of Central America, the unique politics of visuality that Bukelismo has established. Then I review some of the methodological comments on how Reguillo has built a detailed theoretical-political analysis and point out that the methodological learning that emerges from her efforts is even more important. Finally, I examine some forms of daily resistance that we have begun to build in a country whose institutionalities are becoming more fragile by the day.
