ARAUJO, Kathya. The Perception of Inequalities: Social Interactions and Sociohistorical Processes. The Case of Chile. Desacatos [online]. 2019, n.59, pp.16-31. ISSN 2448-5144.

Based on empirical research, this article approaches the reasons why, in the case of Chile, interactional inequalities have ended up constituting a privileged lens to read social events as well as to establish judgments about society. The thesis defended is that the relevance of these inequalities in the perception of individuals reveals how the processes of transformation that this society has gone through in the last decades have questioned the principles of the social bond by challenging the social logics that historically kept untouched a hierarchical and vertical conception of social relations. The case of interactions on the streets is taken to argue.
