Theoretical and practical conditions after October 18

Abstract

There are hardly times when theorizing about the social world is more relevant and challenging than when societies are in crisis. At times like the ones we are living in Chile, there are a series of precepts, objects and experiences that acquire new vitality and visibility, even though they could have been thought of in the past without necessarily being immersed in an affective and existential bond of the current intensity. Today, a distant thought seems impossible, even unethical.
