Political and Social Dynamics in Chile and Latin America

espanolRe-elaborando las categorias de representacion de lo popular en Sunkel (1985), se propone el concepto cultura popular ausente, cuya fundamentacion surge de la articulacion de 3 matrices teoricas: comunicologia latinoamericana del cambio social, estudios culturales y pensamiento decolonial. La hipotesis es que la matriz racional ilustrada fue introducida en la cultura popular urbana latinoamericana durante el siglo XIX: su paulatina institucionalizacion como cultura obrera genero un proceso de divergencia interna de lo popular en el proceso de modernizacion, donde la cultura popular que no es masiva ni obrera quedo politicamente invisibilizada. La identificacion fundamentada de 12 expresiones de la cultura popular ausente en Chile desde principios del siglo XIX en adelante permite concluir que hay una tercera via de existencia de la cultura popular urbana en el contexto latinoamericano, con una consistencia interna a pesar de las transformaciones historicas, cuyos discursos y representaciones deben ser analizadas en profundidad. EnglishRe-elaborating the categories of representation of the popular in Sunkel (1985), the concept of absent popular culture is proposed, whose foundation arises from the articulation of 3 theoretical matrices: Latin American comunicology of social change, cultural studies and decolonial thinking. The hypothesis is that the illustrated rational matrix was introduced into urban Latin American popular culture during the nineteenth century and its gradual institutionalization as a worker culture generated a process of internal divergence of the popular in the process of modernization, where popular culture -that were not massive or worker- was politically invisible. The well-founded identification of 12 expressions of popular culture absent in Chile from the beginning of the nineteenth century onwards allows us to conclude that there is a third way of existence of urban popular culture in the Latin American context, with an internal consistency despite historical transformations, whose discourses and representations should be analyzed thoroughly.
