Detención, formalización y judicialización de la protesta social en el sur de Chile: el continuum de la violencia estatal durante el estallido social de octubre de 2019
2021
The "Social Crisis" of October 2019 in Chile has been the scene of numerous
human rights abuses and violations, mainly committed by state officials. The Chilean
justice system, in particular the judiciary, has played a key role in condemning these events.
Nevertheless, the courts have also failed to avoid becoming, in some cases, a space to
reproduce violence. We propose to describe, through ethnographic work and case studies
from police stations to courts, the bureaucratic routines and procedural logic that
contributes to the reproduction and invisibility of violence in court spaces within the
context of social mobilisation in Chile. We will focus on three cases observed in the
context of detention hearings which tell us about the characteristics and dynamics of these procedures and routines alongside the discursive apparatus associated with them. These
tend to legitimise, naturalise and/or make invisible physical and symbolic violence exerted
towards the accused-arrested in the context of social protest.
