ORELLANA AGUILA, Nicolás. Scope and limits of the notion of "repertoire of contention" to describe, measure and explain conflictivity in XXI century Chile. Estud. sociol [online]. 2017, vol.35, n.105, pp.625-652. ISSN 2448-6442.  https://doi.org/10.24201/es.2017v35n105.1431.

The aim of this article is to analyze the dynamics of social conflict in Chile during the period 2000-2011. We elaborate catalogues of contention actions from CLACSO'S "Cronologías del Conflicto Social", that are the basis to identify actors, actions, and adversaries. The specific objective is double: on one hand, to take to the limit the theoretical foundations in which a large part of academic interpretations of social conflict are based, evaluating their utility and possible criticisms; on the other, to evaluate whether those who mobilize respond to a heteronomous dynamics of conflict or rather are subjects with an autonomous capacity of action. With this analysis we expect to have enough elements to elaborate an outline of the repertoire of contention in Chile during this Century.
