In the historical struggle of the National Coordinator of Education Workers (CNTE), one of the most fruitful semiotic laboratories of combat in contemporary Mexican history is cultivated because it exhibits, with singular clarity, the material dispute for the production of meaning in a society crossed by the worst structural antagonisms of capitalism. It is not just a union confrontation, nor a capricious sequence of salary or administrative demands. What emerges in each mobilization, in each sit-in, in each assembly, in each slogan and in each act of organized resistance is a battle for the social significance of educational work, for the legitimacy of democratic forms of collective representation and for the capacity of the popular sectors to become conscious subjects of their own history. Where the dominant ideological apparatuses seek to reduce the political experience to periodic electoral obedience or the passive acceptance of vertical decisions, the practice of the CNTE installs a social pedagogy of deliberation, criticism and collective action.
