PAULSEN ESPINOZA, Alex. Ritornello, Scale, and Repoliticization of Urban Fight in Santiago de Chile: A Reflection for Scalar Analysis (1984-2021). Tabula Rasa [online]. 2021, n.39, pp.135-155.  Epub Mar 30, 2022. ISSN 1794-2489.  https://doi.org/10.25058/20112742.n39.07.

Geographic scale analyses in social sciences have mainly focused on size and level, somewhat leaving relational terms aside. Here we present a reflection based on the concept of ritornello, inaugurated by Deleuze and Guattari in their A Thousand Plateaus. This notion has clear spatial and scalar ramifications in these authors’ writings, which can be productive to analyze scales in interdisciplinary settings. Additionally, a reflection upon scales is added to end with a discussion of (re)politicization of scales through the ritornello/voice that can have important ramifications in the political structures in today’s liberal democracies, as seen in the case of the Ukamau Dwellers Movement.

Keywords : ritornello; scales; repoliticization; fights; civil society..
