Reinventing the Social is the Task: A Conversation with Teresa Matus

Abstract

This document records a conversation held between Francisco Salinas and Teresa Matus (July 15, 2021) about the use of social-theoretical concepts in the research that Professor Matus has conducted from Social Work for more than two decades. The conversation was proposed as a space for exploration and thought regarding notions linked to "assemblies" and "assemblies" in the constituent and re-foundational context of present-day Chile. This dialogue moved through three vanishing points: the intervention of social statements from the university, the logic of innovating from failure, and the place of knowledge and the destruction of the university.
