Cuando la vida se vuelve descartable
This article examines how regimes of exception – both formally declared and operating de facto – produce differentiated conditions of exposure to violence among specific youth populations in Chile, giving rise to dynamics of youthcide, understood as processes of prolonged social erosion. The research adopts a comparative qualitative approach, focusing on two empirical settings: Mapuche territories in southern Chile subjected to sustained militari…
Domesticidad carcelaria
Esta investigación examina cómo las políticas de prevención de la delincuencia en Chile implementan una forma particular de coacción optimista que opera a través de la gramática del cuidado en hogares afectados por el encarcelamiento. Frente a los familiares de personas encarceladas, el Estado chileno adopta una postura dual: los considera tanto potenciales fuentes de riesgo como víctimas necesitadas de asistencia y cuidado preventivo. Centrándos…
Introduction
This dossier proposes to explore the uprising as a critical event provoking unprecedented processes of political subjectivation and opening the field of action and influence to subjects who had been kept on the margins of the construction of history. This introduction begins by describing the social uprising that occurred in Chile in 2019, the largest cycle of protests since the end of the Pinochet era. It then discusses the notions of critical e…
Mapuche Anticolonial Politics and Chile's Social Uprising
This essay examines milestones in the life history of one subject, Mauricio Lepin, and his involvement in the Chilean social uprising. By exploring the encounter of his trajectory with the uprising, the essay reveals under-explored dimensions of the anticolonial character of this critical event in Chile's history of the present. Lepin's case shows the entanglement of a long history of dispossession and resistance of the Mapuche people with a biog…
A Politics of Care from the Margins of Chile's Social Uprising
This essay addresses the Chilean social uprising of 2019 through the experiences of Marta and Juan, two residents of the peripheries of Santiago, who became involved in this event despite having no previous experience of participation in social and political organizations. It explores this event's strength in triggering contentious actions on the urban margins, and repression by the police-criminal apparatus of the state. Delving into the ethical…
Multitude and Memory in the Chilean Social Uprising
Between October 2019 and March 2020 Chile experienced the most massive and heavily repressed cycle of social protests in its post-dictatorship (1973-90) history. This essay explores the social uprising as a critical event of political subjectivation through the story of Ricardo, an ordinary young medical technician with no background of political affiliation who fully immersed himself in the forefront of confrontation with the police in the groun…
Carceral domesticity as containment of troubled families in Santiago, Chile
This article deals with the ways in which populations in prison-neighbourhood circuits are policed, managed, and contained in Santiago, Chile. It draws attention to how the safeguarding of social order and security policy is intertwined with the reproduction of carceral domesticities among low-income households. Building on ethnographic research conducted in two stages between 2017 and 2022 with practitioners of crime prevention programmes and th…
Rethinking prevention as a reactive force to contain dangerous classes
The pervasiveness of preventive rationality, which is especially evident in populations caught in the prison-neighbourhood circuit, constitutes a challenging field for anthropological theory because it allows us to rethink the problem of hegemony in the context of the crises of capitalism. Drawing on research conducted in Chile amongst practitioners of crime prevention programmes and prisoners' families targeted by such initiatives, in this paper…
Key social science priorities for long-term Covid-19 response
The COVID-19 response continues to be driven by epidemiological priorities, and yet, the epidemic and responses are situated within specific political and health system contexts. Social science brings an understanding of context and draws attention to politics, power and social difference. There are four critical social science priorities for COVID-19 research and policy in the long term. First, political-economic insights can support the design …
Una seguridad (muy) interior del Estado. El trabajo de la prevención en familias de reclusos
This article analyses the work of prevention within a specific social field: the families of prisoners. From this place of experience, it examines how prevention takes shape as a technology of government that guides practices, thoughts and ways of being. Within this relational movement, this article theorizes the concept of “subject of prevention” in order to explain how a framework of subjectivation emerges as an agent of moral discipline, which…
Conflicting visibilities
The inhabitants of the squatted settlements in the border city of Arica, mostly indigenous migrants from the Peruvian–Bolivian highlands, feel the effects of the racialized geography of northern Chile through social discrimination, economic exploitation and deprivation of political rights. In these settlements, their migrant residents make palpable the pervasive tension between a mode of visibility that I analyse in terms of a ‘politics of presen…
Vidas en los bordes
Este artículo aborda el problema del arraigamiento en las fronteras estatales y en los bordes sociales a partir de viven-cias de personas migrantes que habitan en campamentos no autorizados en la frontera norte de Chile. A través del análisis etno-gráfico, analizo cómo la experiencia de vivir a través de múltiples fronteras, en lugar de forzar a migrantes sin hogar a habitar en una suerte de exterioridad radical, los sitúa en precarias brechas de…
El vitalismo de los márgenes
Mexican artist Abraham Cruzvillegas, of Purepecha origin, develops, through installations made of combinations of recovered urban and industrial waste, a work that addresses the social experiences of creation, transformation and subversion, from the edges of the city and from beyond State control. Through the visual analysis of a group of works by this artist, this essay examines the role of sculptures and installations as theoretical and critica…
Where places fold
This article explores the enigmatic centrality of a seemingly unoccupied place located at the very heart of an Andean community in northern Chile. It investigates how the apparent emptiness of a ritual site paradoxically operates as an ineffable agent that articulates beings, things and landscapes. The author argues that the study of what happens in this place is of significance beyond regional studies. It goes beyond the usual cultural framework…
Politics of Presence at the Urban Margins. Emplacement as a Performative Force Among Migrant-Settlers in Chile
Drawing from fieldwork conducted in Arica, a northern Chilean city, this paper addresses the process of ‘emplacement from the margins’ as a performative force in which materialities, affective dimensions and claims are tied together. It analyses how migrants become settlers in unauthorised camps on the fringes of Arica. I argue that in this process a ‘politics of presence’ emerges, intimately imbricated in the material constitution of these settl…
Encarnando (in)seguridad. Orden policial y política de la presencia en la frontera norte de Chile
This article explores a set of relationships located at the crossroads between the critical anthropology of security and the anthropology of borders, with reference to two key aspects. On the one hand, it focuses on a border region of South America whose characteristics provide a historical and ethnographic case study of the experiences deriving from the securitization of state borders and the erection of social boundaries. On the other, it focus…
The act of knowing and the indeterminacy of the known in Huichol contexts (Mexico)
In the Huichol localities of Jalisco and Nayarit, the act of knowing is described as a transformational experience in which conceptions of truth and values circulate in interactions between human and non‐human agents. By analysing critical notions, ritual experiences and assemblages of things, this paper examines Huichol forms of knowledge through four phenomena: the anticipation of experience, the indeterminacy of the known, the presence of visu…

Campos Relacionales De Las Experiencias De Conocimiento Ritual Entre Los Huicholes De México
En las localidades huicholas de Jalisco y Nayarit el acto de conocer se manifiesta como una experiencia transformacional, en donde concepciones de la verdad y valores circulan a travs de las interacciones entre agentes humanos y no humanos. Mediante el anlisis de nociones crticas, experiencias rituales y ensamblajes de cosas, este artculo examina las formas huicholas de conocimiento a travs de cuatro fenmenos: la anticipacin de la experiencia, la…
Cultures of expertise and technologies of government
This article analyses the relation between the formation of a corpus of technologies of government and the establishment of bodies of actors that lay claim to this type of knowledge. In order to investigate this phenomenon, I examine the major milestones in the emergence of think tanks in Chile with the intention of uncovering not only the political aspects of technologies of government but also cultural ones, which come into play through people'…
Rêves et paradoxes d’un édifice rituel au cœur d’un quartier d’affaires de Santiago (Chili)
Cet article étudie un lieu de commémoration issue d'un projet architectural entrainant un enjeu politique et culturel, le Mémorial Jaime Guzmán, l'idéologue de Pinochet, assassiné en 1991 par des militants d'extrême gauche. Nous examinons les dimensions esthétiques, politiques et culturelles de la conception de cet édifice ainsi que le processus le conduisant au cœur du quartier de Sanhattan. Hybridation entre Santiago et Manhattan, Sanhattan ref…
Imágenes de la sexualidad y potencias de la naturaleza
Los discursos huicholes y hopis del placer, la fertilidad y la muerte entretejen un heterogéneo conjunto de elementos que se proyecta dentro de un campo semántico bien definido. A manera de hipótesis de trabajo nos interesa examinar la posible utilidad de una puesta en relación analítica de dichas concepciones con un conjunto de enigmáticas esculturas fálicas características de la llamada cultura chalchihuites, que en un espléndido juego de imáge…
