oai:ojs.revistas.uchile.cl:article-624292017-05-25T09:19:31Z The reconstruction of social movements within critical neighborhoods: the case of the “Coordinadora de Pobladores José María Caro”, Santiago, Chile La reconstrucción de movimiento social en barrios críticos: El caso de la “Coordinadora de Pobladores José María Caro” de Santiago de Chile. Parraguez Sanchez, Leslie The history of José María Caro is similar to those of other historical communities located in the periurban area of Santiago labelled as critical neighborhoods because of violence and social conflicts. In this context, how is it possible that a critical neighborhood has led one of the most important social movements of the last decade. By analyzing the political process carried out by the Coordinadora de Pobladores José María Caro (2005-2007), this paper provides elements to understand this paradox, thus allowing a deeper insight into the so-called “community fragmentation” of these neighborhoods and the reconstruction of social movements 20 years after the end of the military regime. This research concludes that residents do not movilize to overcome shortcomings, but to retain what they have achieved over time. Poor people from past times have a new status in relation to the exclusionary neoliberal city, a space that makes them feel privileged of having something to fight for, but paradoxically turns them into vulnerable individuals. It is in this point when collective action is reconstructed. La historia de la población José María Caro es similar a la de otras poblaciones históricas del pericentro de la ciudad de Santiago que en los últimos años fueron definidas como barrios críticos debido a sus graves problemas de violencia y conflictividad social. En este contexto, ¿cómo se explica que un “barrio critico” protagonice uno de los movimientos sociales más reconocidos de la última década? A partir del análisis del proceso político protagonizado por la Coordinadora de Pobladores José María Caro (2005-2007), este trabajo aporta elementos para entender esta paradoja, permitiendo una comprensión más compleja de la llamada “fragmentación comunitaria” presente en estos barrios, y de la reconstrucción de movimientos sociales en Chile a 20 años del fin de la dictadura militar. Se concluye que los pobladores no se movilizan para superar una carencia, sino para conservar una ganancia construida colectivamente a lo largo de su historia. Los pobres de ayer adquieren un nuevo status en relación con un “afuera” que se desarrolla con patrones excluyentes: la ciudad neoliberal, que los hace sentir privilegiados de tener algo que defender, pero, paradójicamente, los convierte nuevamente en personas vulnerables. Cuando se dan cuenta de eso, se comienza a reconstruir la acción colectiva.

The history of José María Caro is similar to those of other historical communities located in the periurban area of Santiago labelled as critical neighborhoods because of violence and social conflicts. In this context, how is it possible that a critical neighborhood has led one of the most important social movements of the last decade. By analyzing the political process carried out by the Coordinadora de Pobladores José María Caro (2005-2007), this paper provides elements to understand this paradox, thus allowing a deeper insight into the so-called “community fragmentation” of these neighborhoods and the reconstruction of social movements 20 years after the end of the military regime. This research concludes that residents do not movilize to overcome shortcomings, but to retain what they have achieved over time. Poor people from past times have a new status in relation to the exclusionary neoliberal city, a space that makes them feel privileged of having something to fight for, but paradoxically turns them into vulnerable individuals. It is in this point when collective action is reconstructed. |
