ResumoThis article problematizes the situation of mutualism between 1930 and 1960 in Chile, starting with a case study that confronts general views built by historiography. In spite of the creation of the Social Security, mutualism had not entered its final phase, essentially because not all the workers could insure themselves. Those who could ensure themselves often could not permanently do it because of a breach with their employers or some other reason. Consequently, the culture of mutualism could not maintain itself without also revitalizing itself. With regards to this subject, we see that mutualism emerged as an active form of sociability and was much more interactive on local and regional levels than in the period of transition from the ninetieth century to the twentieth century, which was when mutualism was strongly stressed due to the progress of secularization and the reactions of clergymen. At the same time from the perspective of social composition, just as with the socio-political initiatives, they are identified as belonging to the middle and lower classes. Obviously, this study presents a reflection about this problem based on a particular case and thus its conclusions are not to be generalization. Keywords: Mutualism, trade-unionism, sociability, social insurance
