Abstract

In this paper, by analyzing deep qualitative interviews, we explore how ordinary people, in other words persons without previous political experience, are now participating actively in the urban movement and have developed a personal process of emancipation, transforming themselves into political subjects. The study case that we propose is the local expression of 15M in Seville, the capital of one of the poorest regions of Spain and Europe, Andalusia, and one of the most affected areas because of the economic and the social crisis. With regard to the emotional dimension of the protest, we want to show how the persons interviewed deal with the threat deriving from moral shock, identify those responsible and elaborate the injustice frame as well as the process that leads to the transformation of conscience and behaviour.
