OVALLE PASTEN, Daniel. The Chilean constituent process: An analysis proposal from the History of Present Time (1989-2019). Debates hist. [online]. 2023, vol.11, n.2, pp.81-112.  Epub Oct 30, 2023. ISSN 2594-2956.  https://doi.org/10.54167/debates-por-la-historia.v11i2.1215.

This article is a proposal for analysis to understand the current Chilean constituent process from a historical perspective. To do this, it is proposed to analyze the 1980 Constitution from the return to democracy (1989) until the so-called "social outbreak" of October 2019. The focus is that the ways of understanding Pinochet's Constitution (1980 Constitution) are part of the conformation of the historical consciousness, and that the "social outbreak" presents a time of rupture that articulates a new way of thinking about the historical consciousness of modern Chile.

Keywords : Constituent process; Constitution of 1980; history of the present time; historical consciousness; social outbreak.
