Résumé anglais The present work follows the tracks of the artistic and symbolical issues, and their impact on people's memory around the events that were happened on December 22th 1997 in the community of Acteal, Chiapas. This paper assumes that the preservation and symbolization of the State's violence are action ways of a counter-power and signs of resistance from those which, as far as the modern political philosophy, should be the owners of the sovereignty, that is to say, the people. This symbolical tendence was a footprint of the Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional (EZLN), since the first days of its uprising, on January 1994. After twelve days of fighting against the Mexican Army, it was perhaps the discursive and symbolical core through the people's consciousness, which stopped the hostilities and set the conflict in a different stage. The photography, the cartoon, were added to sociological and journalistic speeches, creating a new kind of discursive structure with a strong aesthetical issue. In other hand, at this new and revolutionary strategy accounted a counter- revolutionary phase, which most significant file was Acteal's massacre. The response actions of the movement, instead the direct fighting, were the exercise of this symbolical counter-power. At 1997, the ways were mostly influenced by the painting, the sculpture, the poetry and the poster, besides the other kinds mentioned above. So, this work shows examples of those representations in the mentioned genres, under the fact that these ones are political counterparts to State's violence and they seek an interpellation effect to a peaceful way of solving the conflict in that region.
