Abstract

Rodríguez offers a fine-grained analysis of how Chilean students elaborated and mobilised a critical discourse against neoliberalism during the 2011 student mobilisations in Chile. Specifically, the chapter shows how individuals’ feelings of indignation were taken as an object of collective reflection and connected to a diagnosis of the socio-economic dynamics behind a system which increased access but created a mass of debtors in the process. The chapter demonstrates how the students’ critique of Chilean society, which underpinned their demands, led them finally to go beyond their identity as students and to participate in the broader construction of a new type of citizenship, which could form the basis for the construction of a post-neoliberal society.
