Ethnographic reflections about the fractal structure and the entropic nature of the groups in San Luis Potosí

Abstract

This article is a piece of theoretical and reflective analysis about one of the social forms that collective action acquires. The Colectivo de Colectivos (Cc) is a meta-instance with a jurisdictional degree higher than the unitary collective, which in a fractal way is structurally determined from microworlds. In other words, it is an instance that transcends the individuality of all the instances that it brings together in a single symbolic unit (Melucci, 1999). But how does a Collective of collectives become a meta-instance? How is it that this possibility of bringing together other instances happens or is specifically constructed?
