| Sumario: | This article examines the popular economy identity construction work carried by a group of constituent movements of the Unión de Trabajadores de la Economía Popular (UTEP). To do so, it analyzes the participation of these social movements on Twitter, using a corpus of 16 accounts of organizations and leaders of the sector, with a total of 28150 tweets published between 2011 and 2019. The analysis of the data shows the growing importance of the popular economy in the public discourse of the social movements during this period, the central role it played in the construction of a unity of action among the movements and reconstructs the identity heterogeneity of the main members of the UTEP. The central argument of the article is that the movements that founded the UTEP carried out active identity work to constitute the popular economy as a new layer of collective identity that does not ignore heterogeneities but overlaps with others that are specific to each of them. This identity work played a central role in bringing these movements together in the UTEP. |
