Ni pobres ni incluidos: ¿Nueva cuestión social?

Abstract

This paper analyses a set of emergent social issues, which are featured by new conflicts and structures, but also rooted in permanent cultural basis. The papers starts analyzing the causes of the poverty, which is attributed to a fracture motivated by a crisis on the expectative of social promotion. The aim is to understand the ways that the stratification adopts in Chile and the new conflicts that underpin those ways of stratification. Likewise, the paper explores an issue that is assumed as relevant to be themed with more details: the social issue within the framework of the territorial forms of distribution of the population in Chile, in which an imbalance between the administrative and the material reality becomes evident. Finally, the paper analyses the issue of the discrimination and authoritarianism, seeking to understand some of the cultural constraints in which the issues analyzed in this paper are inscribed.
