This course deeply explores the profound impact of the Chilean Uprising of October 2019, a movement that continues reverberating throughout the nation's fabric. By examining the historical backdrop that set the stage for this revolt, we aim to unravel the intricate socio-political dynamics that unfolded among diverse social groups. Moreover, we will explore the various cultural expressions that emerged during the extensive mass mobilizations, including music, performances, poetry, and grassroots initiatives. Additionally, we will analyze the multifaceted process of the New Constitution that emerged from the movement, delving into themes such as neoliberalism, colonialism, and indigeneity, which were at the core of the demands.
What will we cover?
Session 1: Historical Chile: Allende, Pinochet, and the Rise of Neoliberalism
Session 2: “No son 30 pesos, son 30 años”: October Awakening and The New Constitution.
What will I achieve? By the end of this course you should be able to...
- comprehend Chile's uprising within its historical, social, and political contexts.
- have a better knowledge of the vibrant cultural production intertwined with this mobilisation, resonating with broader movements that have significantly shaped the country's landscape.
