El estudio analiza la relación de los jóvenes de sectores popula-res con la política institucional post estallido social. A través de entrevistas cualitativas, se identifican dos ejes que expre-san el proceso de politización sin identificación: generación y género. Hay una creciente po-litización, especialmente entre mujeres jóvenes, a pesar de la...
In September 2022, Chileans overwhelmingly rejected the draft of a new constitution to replace the inherited from Pinochet’s dictatorship. Existing explanations attribute the failure to a mixture of ill-designed procedures, political dynamics, and ideological distortions and fake news. However, we argue for a different interpretation, emphasizing t...
During the last decade, processes of constitutional change in different parts of the world have taken place in response to massive mobilizations, in contexts of social and political crises. What do social movements do when they participate in a body created to formulate a new constitution? The constitutional change process of 2021-2022 in Chile pro...
This chapter explores the main areas and trends of youth activism in the recent transformative processes in Chile. Young people in Chile have been a key transformative force in post-Pinochet Chile. In 2019, secondary school students protesting against fare increases for public transportation sparked the largest protests in Chile’s history, demandin...
The Chilean pobladores housing movement gained prominence among Chile’s 2019 wave of protests. The contemporary pobladores movement re-emerged in 2000 and since then has mobilized for the right to dignified housing and a dignified life. Values like work, effort, and collective commitment have been fundamental within its historical narratives since...
Novatrice en matière sociale et écologique, la nouvelle Constitution chilienne s’est bâtie dans la douleur, avant d’être massivement rejetée le 4 septembre 2022. Retour sur les grandes étapes de son élaboration.
Over the last two decades, academic debates around neoliberalism in Latin America have shifted from evaluations of the drawbacks and virtues of the application of neoliberal policies for achieving socioeconomic development , towards discussions imagining and implementing alternatives. After thirty years of neoliberal reform, even neoliberal advocat...
Los avances en la investigación en psicología y neurociencias han demostrado que los primeros dos años de vida son un periodo crítico para el desarrollo del cerebro, y la carencia de experiencias estimulantes provoca déficits en la salud física, cognitiva y sobre todo emocional de los bebés. Por esta razón, resulta indispensable generar instancias...
La siguiente entrevista aborda algunas de las principales motivaciones, ideas y conclusiones que dan forma a la investigación contenida en el libro Resisting neoliberal capitalism in Chile: the possibility of social critique (2020) de Juan Pablo Rodríguez. Se aborda, en primer lugar, su examen de distintas teorías críticas del neoliberalismo contem...
One of the defining characteristics of critical social theory is the production of emancipation-oriented knowledge vis-à-vis the realities of capitalist society in all its contradictions. After a period of withdrawal from the seventies to the nineties, social critique of capitalist society has re-emerged with a new vitality and vigour. One of the s...
By exploring the relationship between Fredric Jameson’s notion of an aesthetics of cognitive mapping and Luc Boltanski’s critical sociology, this chapter discusses the status and modalities of ‘social totality’ in critical theory. By examining the possibilities of holding an emancipatory notion of social totality, Rodríguez shows that the very noti...
This chapter focuses on the pobladores movement’s practices of social critique and contestation to neoliberal housing policies in Chile. Rodríguez explores how the pobladores mapped the neoliberal city in Chile from their territories and how, in so doing, they redefined the city and themselves. The chapter shows the extent to which the discourse of...
The chapter offers a brief and much-needed introduction to the politics of neoliberalism in Chile. After suggesting why the overthrow of the Popular Unity/Allende government by the military coup and subsequent Pinochet’s dictatorship provided especially propitious conditions for the aggressive imposition of neoliberalism in Chile, the chapter explo...
Rodríguez draws attention to the opportunity the current post-2011 mobilisations moment offers for analysing recent dynamics of resistance and contestation of neoliberal capitalism. Taking as a starting point the fact that most of 2011’s global wave of uprisings shares the basic Marxist emphasis on the systemic and global nature of capitalism and i...
Taking the ‘return of Marx’ as a symptom of the renewal of social critique, Rodríguez explores three themes within the field of contemporary critical social theory which are useful for constructing a concept of social critique: utopia, recognition and disagreement. Focusing on how authors such as Ruth Levitas, David Harvey, Eric Olin Wright and Fre...
The chapter explicitly tackles the ways in which we can account for the possibility of social critique today, discussing the utopian, the normative and political-aesthetic moments of social movements’ practices of social critique. By considering both the pobladores and the student movements in relation to the dimensions of social critique sketched...
This chapter turns to an investigation of how the topic of ‘social critique’ has been tackled within social movements studies. Rodríguez synthesises some of the main strands of social movement studies, focusing particularly on the ‘return’ of capitalism to social movements studies. The chapter traces the trajectory of social movement studies and th...
Rodríguez offers a fine-grained analysis of how Chilean students elaborated and mobilised a critical discourse against neoliberalism during the 2011 student mobilisations in Chile. Specifically, the chapter shows how individuals’ feelings of indignation were taken as an object of collective reflection and connected to a diagnosis of the socio-econo...
This book explores the relationship between recent theoretical debates around the fate of critique of neoliberal capitalism and critical theory, on the one hand, and the critical theories generated in and by social movements in Chile, on the other. By taking the idea of social critique as a field that encompasses both critical social theories and t...
p>Aunque ha sido tematizado, el concepto de malestar no ha tenido un lugar preponderante en los estudios sobre movimientos sociales. Incluso en su variante europea, explícitamente “culturalista”, el malestar no figuró como un concepto especialmente relevante. En los estudios latinoamericanos, por su parte, si bien el tema del malestar ha estado pre...
