| description | This article studies, from the universe of identity and social movements, the leading role played by youngPeruvians known as the Bicentennial Generation against the swearing-in of the then president of theRepublic, Manuel Merino, in November 2020. In this context of citizen movements, we identify their maingenerational characteristics, ideological stances and modes of protest. We also address the way in which they define themselves in order to elaborate a conceptual approach to themselves as a social movement.The research is of a mixed approach and exploratory level. In this regard, a survey was applied to 380Peruvians over 18 years of age, most of them from Generation Y and Z. The results show a greater activismof women; a little partisan linkage with traditional political proposals; and the use of resources such as marches, cacerolazos and social networks. On the other hand, we identified acts of solidarity such as the mobilization of demonstrators in cars, donations to brigades, placement of posters on thefacades of their homes or the use of Andean music instruments on public streets. We conclude that theBicentennial Generation demystifies the disinterest of young people in political issues and organizes todefend democracy through two types of demonstrators: pro-democracy and anti-corruption. |

Este artículo estudia, desde el universo de la identidad y los movimientos sociales, el protagonismo que tuvieron los jóvenes peruanos conocidos como la Generación del Bicentenario frente a la toma de posesión del entonces presidente de la República, Manuel Merino, en noviembre de 2020. En ese contexto de movimientos ciudadanos identificamos sus principales características generacionales, posturas ideológicas y modos de protesta. Asimismo, abordamos la forma en que se autodefinen para elaborar una aproximación conceptual respecto a sí mismos como un movimiento social. La investigación es de enfoque mixto y de nivel exploratorio. En este sentido, se aplicó una encuesta a 380 peruanos mayores de 18 años, la mayoría de ellos de la Generación Y y Z. Los resultados muestran un mayor activismo de las mujeres; una poca vinculación partidaria con las propuestas políticas tradicionales; y el uso de recursos como marchas, cacerolazos y redes sociales. Por otro lado, identificamos actos solidarios como la movilización de manifestantes en autos, donaciones a brigadas, colocación de carteles en las fachadas de sus hogares o utilización de instrumentos de música andina en la vía pública. Concluimos que la Generación del Bicentenario desmitifica el desinterés de jóvenes en asuntos políticos y se organiza para defender la democracia a través de dos tipos de manifestantes: pro-democracia y anti-corrupción.
