Resum

This project was born with the intention of elaborating a kind of comparative mapping between Different Political Movements in order to allow 1 Better Comprehension at the same time to Begin to lay the foundations on the possible impact they have had in the forms of the political protest During this time, it was sought to observe in each movement which representations they did, Authorization type of discourses generated, Authorization actors participated and, ultimately, what Grammars were present. This has allowed us both to look at what consequences they have had to date.

Methodologically, the Collection of information has been produced through Diverse Ethnographic Investigations by the Members of the project. These, besides analyzing the "forms" of the Different political protests, have also allowed us to observe Authorization Effects have had particularly on youth. The central objective of the project was to contrast the convergent and divergent elements of the various Movements, their Innovative or Continuous Aspects with respect to previous Movements, as well as their impact on youth and society, both locally and globally.

In this sense, following the methodological guidelines assigned to the course of the investigation, we understand indignation such as a starting point, but not an arrival, since its "end" still seems far. Finally, we conclude that the causes of these recent political movements are multiple, signaling among other 3 main dimensions. First of all, the Political Dimension understands that current Social Movements have acquired Different patterns as a result of democratizing processes against Authoritarian regimes that were present in southern Europe in the late twentieth century (military dictatorships in Spain, Greece and Portugal). Second, the social Dimension. The current movements are understood as the result of a need for social justice against austerity policies that have been characterized by the various Governments. Lastly, we consider that both the outraged movement and its derivations are the direct result of actions of political vindication against the austerity policies that directly affect the ALS young people marginalized by economic, political and cultural reasons in each one of the Movements represented in the project of research
