Abstract
ABSTRACT:In 2014—in the wake of a global eruption of protests including YoSoy132, 15M, the Arab Spring, and Occupy Wall Street—the Chilean rapera Ana Tijoux and the Puerto Rican rap duo Calle 13 both released songs notable for calling their listeners to political activism. In this article, I argue that the songs "Somos Sur" and "Multi_Viral" disseminate a critique of that wave of social movements by insisting upon greater transnational cooperation between activist groups to collectively confront social and economic oppression born out of Western hegemony.RESUMEN:En 2014—tras el estallido internacional de protestas que incluyeron YoSoy132, 15M, la Primavera Árabe y Occupy Wall Street—la rapera chilena Ana Tijoux y el dúo de rap puertorriqueño Calle 13 estrenaron dos canciones notables por hacer un llamado a que sus oyentes se comprometan con el activismo político. En este artículo, sostengo que las canciones "Somos Sur" y "Multi_Viral" difunden una crítica de esa ola de movimientos sociales al insistir en una mayor cooperación transnacional entre grupos activistas para enfrentar colectivamente la opresión social y económica nacida de la hegemonía occidental.
