Abstract
The current systemic crisis has operated as an opportunity structure on which have crystallized new discourses, new practices and new political structures. The emergence of 15M, Platform for People Affected by Mortgages (PAH) or so-called tides have allowed the visibility of ways of doing politics that make an explicit difference with the practices associated with the political establishment of the 78 regime. Some of the practices popularized by these movements have become assumed by broad segments of the population. Among them, the assembly as a legitimate method of decision making. In this paper we propose an analysis of the assembly as a political ritual, making a description of its organizational logic, principles of legimitacion and formal characteristics. Through ethnographic data collected in the city of Alcala de Guadaira (Sevilla) trace the specific frame of discourses, practices and observable relationships within assemblies organized by the 15M movement. Finally, through these data, we reflect on the political meaning of the ritual in times of crisis.

En su célebre obra “La sociedad del riesgo global” (2002), Ulrich Beck argumenta que tras la caída del Muro de Berlín, el ser humano pasó de habitar un mundo de enemigos a vivir en un mundo de peligros y riesgos
Las nociones de ritual y fetiche pueden ofrecer pistas sobre el sentido de prácticas como el asamblearismo en un contexto marcado por el riesgo y la incertidumbre
Summary
Centro de Investigação e Estudos de Sociologia Instituto Universitário de Lisboa (CIES-IUL). Resumen: La actual crisis sistémica ha operado como una estructura de oportunidad sobre la que han cristalizado nuevos discursos, nuevas prácticas y nuevas estructuras políticas. La irrupción del 15M, de la Plataforma de Afectados por la Hipoteca (PAH) o de las llamadas “mareas” han permitido la visibilización de modos de hacer política que marcan una diferencia explícita con las prácticas asociadas al establishment político del llamado “régimen del 78”. A través de datos etnográficos recabados en la ciudad de Alcalá de Guadaíra (Sevilla) rastreamos la trama específica de discursos, prácticas y relaciones observables en el seno de las asambleas organizadas por el movimiento 15M. Finalmente, y a través de estos datos, reflexionamos sobre el sentido político del ritual en tiempos de crisis
