Resisting Neoliberal Capitalism in Chile, 1st ed. 2020 The Possibility of Social Critique Marx, Engels, and Marxisms Series
Langue : Anglais
Auteur : Rodríguez Juan Pablo
This book explores the relationship between recent theoretical debates around the fate of critique of neoliberal capitalism and critical theory, on the one hand, and the critical theories generated in and by social movements in Chile, on the other. By taking the idea of social critique as a field that encompasses both critical social theories and the practices of social criticism carried out by social movements, Resisting Neoliberal Capitalism in Chile explores how the student and the Pobladores movements map, resist and contest neoliberal capitalism in commodified areas such as education and housing in Chile, one of the first ?neoliberal experiments? in Latin America and the world.
