Abstract In the summer of 2006, during a popular uprising in the Mexican state of Oaxaca, a group of Oaxacan women occupied state television and transformed it into TV by and for the people in just twenty-one days. Engaging with the amateur and fugitive aesthetic of the women’s self-produced media, this article examines the ways in which the broadcasts helped build The Popular Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca (APPO) as a model of decolonial democracy. I argue that through the recuperation of foreclosed public space, the women used the instruments of state power to develop forums for political deliberation and debate that re-articulated and reframed issues of gender, class and indigeneity in the social movement. They prefigured APPO’s proposed democratic model by visualizing the popular assembly as a dynamic work-in-progress, and in turn helped to manifest it by inviting broad public participation and support to realise APPO’s democracy ‘to come’.

电视革命

摘要 2006年夏天，在墨西哥瓦哈卡州的一场民众起义中，一群瓦哈卡妇女占领了国家电视台，并在短短二十一天内将其转变为人民的电视。本文结合女性自制媒体的业余和逃亡美学，研究了广播如何帮助瓦哈卡人民大众大会 (APPO) 作为非殖民民主的典范。我认为，通过恢复被取消抵押品赎回权的公共空间，妇女利用国家权力的工具发展政治审议和辩论的论坛，重新阐明和重构社会运动中的性别、阶级和土著问题。他们通过将民众集会想象成一个动态的进行中的工作，预示了 APPO 提出的民主模式，
