Abstract

The article discusses the findings of an in-progress sociological research on political participation within stigmatized neighborhoods of Greater Santiago. Unlike the images of anger, apathy and political disinterest from where they are usually portrayed, we retrieve the experiences, meanings and expectations towards the Social Outbreak among young people with higher education and experienced in intrinsically cultural, religious and political organizations. Analytically, we identify three intelligibility criteria – decency, counterculture, and affiliation – in order to understand the ways in which young people from working-class narrate their lives, describe their own neighborhoods, and speak about the experiences lived in protests and during the constitutional process.

Keywords:

youth political participation, working-class neighborhoods, riot
