    (2022) Barria-Asenjo, Nicol A.; Zizek, Slavoj; Scholten, Hernan; Pavon-Cuellar, David; Salas, Gonzalo; Cabezas, Oscar Ariel; Huanca Arohuanca, Jesus William; Alcala, Sergio J. Aguilar
    This article seeks to elaborate a map or cartogram based on a number of protests and social mobilizations that took place in different parts of the world -mainly in Latin America, but also in Europe and Asia. Beyond the data and figures available from various sources, which never speak for themselves, an interpretation is proposed here to reveal the meaning of these events. In other words, by displaying a map of these social movements, the authors propose not only the visualization of a collection of data, but also an illumination of these events in the light of history. From there, the authors offer hypothetical predictions. These predictions allow the authors to consider the lessons that, sometimes, seem to be forgotten or are not learned yet.
