“…O Movimento Zapatista, composto por indígenas de diferentes etnias, tornou-se conhecido nacional e internacionalmente em 1 o . de janeiro de 1994, quando realizou um Levante, que resultou em confrontos e conflitos com forças armadas mexicanas, com grupos paramilitares, entre outras organizações ou instituições, estatais ou não (AGUIRRE ROJAS, 2008).…”

Apresenta-se, com aporte de dados bibliográficos e documentais, relato de experiência de participações como voluntário em Brigadas Civiles de Observación de Derechos Humanos (BriCO) promovidas pelo Centro de Derechos Humanos “Fray Bartolomé de las Casas” (Frayba), Chiapas, México. As participações ocorreram em duas comunidades que demandaram dessa organização a presença dessas Brigadas. Uma dessas comunidades é La Realidad, integrante do Movimento Zapatista; a outra é a Sociedad Civil Las Abejas de Acteal, ambas situadas em Chiapas/México. Essas comunidades, diante dos ataques sofridos e das frequentes ameaças recebidas, demandaram de Frayba o envio dessas Brigadas, visando evitar violações aos Direitos Humanos. Dentre os aspectos conclusivos, ressalta-se a relevância do aprendizado prático-teórico decorrente das participações nessas Brigadas e da histórica atuação de Frayba, no que se refere ao apoio propiciado a essas e outras comunidades, importância essa que é, de variadas formas, reconhecida expressamente pelas comunidades demandantes e também por organizações nacionais e internacionais. “FRAYBA” (Chiapas/Mexico): resistencia y solidaridad en defensa de los derechos humanos de los pueblos indigenas Resumen: Este trabajo presenta, con apoyo de datos bibliográficos y documentales, un reporte de experiencia de participación como voluntario en Brigadas Civiles de Observación de Derechos Humanos (BriCO) promovidas por el Centro de Derechos Humanos “Fray Bartolomé de las Casas” (Frayba), Chiapas, México.

The participations took place in two communities that demanded from this organization the presence of these Brigades. One of these communities is La Realidad, part of the Zapatista Movement; the other is Sociedad Civil Las Abejas de Acteal, both located in Chiapas/Mexico. These communities, in view of the attacks they have suffered and the frequent threats they have received, have demanded that Frayba send these Brigades, in order to prevent human rights violations. Among the conclusive aspects, we highlight the relevance of the practical-theoretical learning resulting from the participations in these Brigades and of the historical performance of Frayba, with regard to the support provided to these and other communities, an importance that is, in various ways, expressly recognized by the requesting communities and also by national and international organizations. Keywords: Human Rights Education; Human Rights. Indigenous peoples. Frayba. Mexico.

“…This ‘servant leadership’ does not rest solely upon institutional mechanisms. The ‘promotion of the ethical foundation of the work of government’ (Aguirre Rojas, 2009: 29) fuels the desire to assist others and to devote all personal capacities to the collective cause. This other ethics of leadership renounces self-affirmation and the sense of higher prestige, subduing self-interest and egoism in office.…”

“…They always form an organic part of the people, living side by side with them and practising an ethic of dialogue. They propose solutions and policies, which they submit to popular consent rather than dictating them from above (Aguirre Rojas, 2009: 31–32, 64–65).…”

“…(f) Last, but not least, positions of leadership are increasingly accessible to women, who have occupied strategic positions while asserting the right to be different (Aguirre Rojas, 2009: 94–95). The empowerment and inclusion of women in political leadership is a cutting edge of the ‘feminization of politics’ that twists the alter-political hegemony of contemporary movements.…”

“…Chris Dixon's (2014) mapping of the new spirit of radicalism can offer a solid point of departure for giving an account of such alter-politics in our times, which is confirmed and enriched by several other thinkers. In addition to the diverse theorizations of Coles (2016), Gibson-Graham (2006), Kaufman (2016), Massumi (2015), Montgomery and Bergman (2017) and Aguirre Rojas (2009) cited below, relevant sources include Hardt and Negri on the politics of the multitude and the common (2004,2009,2012,2017), various enquiries into the politics of commoning (Bollier andHelfrich, 2015, 2019;De Angelis, 2017) and of late social movements such as 15-M and municipalism in Spain (see, for example, Ciudades Sin Miedo, 2018;Flesher Fominaya, 2020;Soudias, 2020), among others.…”

Counter-hegemonic leadership for democratic alter-politics in our times

This article sets out to grapple with strategic challenges facing democratic alter-politics in our times, dwelling on the question of leadership to explore ways of overcoming the frailties and risks that beset grassroots collective agency for democratic renewal. Discussion begins thus by fleshing out the notion of contemporary democratic alter-politics which breaks both with top-down statist rule and conventional activism, fostering openness, diversity, assembly-based democracy, attention to process, egalitarianism, prefiguration, work in everyday life along with mass mobilization, and engagement with institutions to effect change. In a second step, the argument brings out the strategic limitations of this alter-politics by engaging with relevant theories and reflections on strategy. The following key part of the article sketches the outlines of a strategy of counter-hegemony that could tackle some of these limitations by reconfiguring democratic leadership. Drawing on recent social movements and organizational studies, critical analysis will seek to indicate how the pursuit of effective leadership can be aligned with the alter-politics of egalitarian collective self-direction to boost and expand it in the political circumstances of the present. The nub of the argument is that ‘another leadership’ that is assembly-based, technopolitical, reflective, distributed, ‘servant’, and feminized can further democratic alter-politics.
