The popular minoritarian: For a Plebeian Folklore

This video is a recording of the round-table discussion held on Friday, 17 April 2026 as part of READ Madrid. Festival of Books and Ideas, and featuring the participation ofLuciana Cadahia and Pedro G. Romero, moderated by Julia Morandeira Arrizabalaga.

The conversation pivots on understanding the popular as a practice with emancipatory potential, reflecting on the frames of reference and practices which allow for a reconsideration of the popular as a cultural technology of the commons, at odds with its appropriation by reactionary populisms and folklorizing trends.
