RIVERA-SOTO, José. Governmentality neoliberal: hegemony and public space in the ‘Awakening of Chile’. Temas Sociales [online]. 2024, n.55, pp.195-222.  Epub 01-Nov-2024. ISSN 0040-2915.  https://doi.org/10.53287/hvjx9286js11k.

Following Laclau’s core themes (2005), this paper upholds the idea that to radicalize democracy under neoliberal technologies of government, multiple forms of subordination must be articulated in a hegemonic relationship. To do so, in this paper we ponder on the last five years in Chile, where inherent social conflict flooded the public space (Mouffe, 2007) recently enabled by a generation that was not prey to the abysmal lessons of the “memory of the catastrophe” (Rojas, 2019), with unsatisfied demands that, in the 2019 revolts, managed to produce a shared social discourse around the word dignity. This heterogeneity was maintained in the Constitutional Convention where the differential nature of the discursive positions was accentuated, producing draft proposal of a text which was unable to convince the citizenry.

Palavras-chave : Neoliberal governmentality; public space; hegemony; populism; democracy; riots; Chile.
