No. of bitstreams: 1 Alessandra Di Giorgi Chélest.pdf: 3710324 bytes, checksum: c4ed92f826323bfaa8b4949b9bc2756a (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-10-05 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / This research analyzes the Chilean dictatorship during the 1980s, a period not very discussed in historiography, but a moment wich maintains a profound process of violence and persecution, from the images portrayed by Pablo Salas, a protest videographer who reveals arbitrariness practiced by the Chilean dictatorship. The research is based above all in images, taken as documents of the time, compared by the bibliography and documents produced by the Chilean State and denunciations. This reserarch also shows the direct mesh between the visual environment and the resistance and denunciation movements that expressed the class struggles, a period of great insecurity in which the tentacles of the persecutary state reached the people - which supplies the footage of images by Salas. These images synthesize a movement whose social function was to have succeeded in producing itself as an expression of the collectivity of particular social groups, of a sociabilities mesh that the years of state terrorism have not been able to destroy / Esta pesquisa analisa a ditadura chilena durante a década de 1980, período pouco discutido na historiografia, mas que mantém um processo profundo de violência e perseguições, a partir das imagens retratadas por Pablo Salas, cinegrafista de protesto que revela arbitrariedades praticadas pela ditadura. A pesquisa se ancora especialmente em imagens, tomadas como documentos da época, cotejadas pela bibliografia e documentos, produzidos pelo próprio Estado chileno, e denúncias. Também apresenta a ligação direta entre o ambiente das visualidades e os movimentos de resistência e denúncias que expressavam as lutas de classes, um período de grande insegurança no qual os tentáculos do Estado persecutório atingiram a população – o que fornece o material das imagens de Salas. Essas imagens sintetizam um movimento cuja função social foi a de ter conseguido se produzir enquanto expressão da coletividade de determinados grupos sociais, de uma rede de sociabilidades, que os anos de terrorismo de Estado não foram capazes de destruir

The Chilean urban poor led crucial mobilisation throughout most of the 20th century. Scholars argue that different factors explain the demobilisation of that sector during the democratic transition (the early 1990s). Through an ethnographic comparative approach, this thesis compares two neighbourhoods. Their similitudes cannot explain why while one of them sustained contentious collective action in time, the other became demobilised as most other neighbourhoods. As in many other studies, what explains the survival of contentious collective action is a mobilisational identity. This research moves beyond those accounts to explain why mobilisational citizenship emerges in some communities and not in others. The interaction between four dimensions explains mobilisational citizenship: agentic memory, belonging, boundaries, and decentralised leadership. The sustainability of mobilisational citizenship depends on grassroots activists' capacity to transmit collective identity as political capital. The Chilean case shows that autonomy is crucial for mobilisational citizenship. In cases in which political parties establish networks of loyalty and clientelism promoting the monopoly of political capital at the grassroots level, communities cannot develop and sustain a mobilisational identity.
