Abstract

This chapter explores eight images that have been historically associated with the concept of popular in Latin America. Subsequently it presents some of the questioning done by social scientists who declared the crisis of the popular or proposed replacing it with other apparently less problematic terms from political or analytical perspectives. Finally, the article establishes the four major reasons why semantic containers like people and the popular are still valid today in the Latin American context.
