RANDI, Sergio Adrián Alejandro. Youth and popular-intermediary classes in the Chilean spring of 2019: Subjects and disruptive collective action in the dispute for dignity. Investig. desarro.

This research addresses the protest, the subjects and their characteristics, as well as the forms of disruptive collective action in the popular uprising of October 2019 in Santiago de Chile. The objective is to analyze and reflect about the absence of a predetermined subject calling for the protests, the use of disruptive practices in them, and discussing their presumed "spontaneity". The methodology is based on a qualitative perspective and indepth interviews with academics and participants in the protest. My argument is that the protest, far from being "spontaneous", should be interpreted as the result of known repertoires of action and innovations, as well as informal networks of cooperation in which disruptive collective action was dominant.

Keywords : protest; collective action; disruptive; coordinated destruction; Octobrism; equality.
