- Title
Entre lo popular y lo masivo: análisis de las narrativas estéticas de la campaña "No a la Baja" en Uruguay.

- Abstract
All through the year 2014, Uruguay lived an intense manoeuvre in search of reforming the National Constitution in order to lower the age of imputability (or criminal responsibility of minors), from 18 to 16 years old and, equate the punishments with the adult criminal system. Sectors of the opposition managed to collect enough signatures to organise a plesbicite within the framework of the presidential elections, so people could vote for or against the lowering of imputability age. Without ignoring the political, economic and legal questions behind this problem, this reflexive essay tries to go deep into the analysis of the aesthetic aspect of the "No to the Lowering Age Campaign". For that purpose, the author will not only analise several communicational products, but she also proposes a retrospective view regarding the aesthetic narratives in Latin America, which caused a great deal of tension in politics. Both, avant-gardes and their artistic manifests and the concept of work, author and modern art will be investigated. One of the main reflections that this essay goes through, is over the narratives that such a Campaign could build, which being considered entertainment narratives, managed to articulate what is popular and what is massive, producing with aesthetic care, -attention in relation to legitimated taste and feeling modes- a discourse against the lowering age of imputability, whose potential audience were the non convinced or the ones who ignored the topic.
