Dystopistics: the hydra and the coming storm. Narratives of the future in Zapatismo

  • Carlos Octavio Núñez Miramontes

Keywords: dystopianism, future, temporality, zapatismo.

The zapatista movement has developed an explicit discourse about time, which gets radicalized to the point its reconfiguration into a rebellion carried out from the resistance is desired. This article, from the Critical Analysis of Discourse (CAD), will address the narratives of the future in zapatismo, particularly, the narratives endorsed in the Hydra and the Coming Storm allegory. The concept of dystopistics is proposed to highlight the feasibility and rational evaluation of possible scenarios of the socially unsuccessful.
