VELASCO, Javier. The aesthetic of the multiple: dances, shapes and multitude. Temas Sociales [online]. 2015, n.37, pp.227-250. ISSN 0040-2915.

This article tries a relationship between the aesthetic of the Folkloric parade and the theory of multitude in Hardt and Negri. Is not possible a real decolonizing practice if we don't think this idea away from the traditional mechanisms of power: neitherthe ideological apparatus nor the liberal institutions of formal democracy, but within the space where the social meaning is produced as "fiesta" (celebration). The deployment, composition and movement of the bodies dancing in the folkloric parade is the solid understanding of the theory of "multiple", a different comprehension that I propose about the idea of "multitude" in Hardt and Negri. Is not an ideological project what moves the dancers and crowd within an anti-authoritarian phenomenon as the parade. Bodies touching and felling other bodies, the parade develops an specific sensorium, the sensorium of the social as decolonizing practice
