Abstract

This article shows some of the existing resonances between the Zapatista and the Palestinian resistances as examples of glocalization. The objective is to establish some contact zones that can recreate an example of cultural translation in what is known as the Global South, addressing the challenges that each of these struggles faces respectively. It concludes that from Chiapas to Nablus there are several elements shared by people when they are in a process of resistance; emphasis is placed on the glocal activities, defined as local actions with a global impact. These activities include the construction of schools, clinics, and other spaces of local autonomy, whose structures serve to deconstruct ideologies and dominant practices that homogenize the people in the name of neo-liberal globalization.
