CILE 1973-2023: Controrivoluzione e Resistenza. Iniziativa FILEF a Sydney.

28 Agosto 2023 admin INVIO, Senza categoria 0

Invito a partecipare all’evento a 50 anni dal colpo di Stato fascista dell’11 settembre 1973 in Cile, in cui discuteremo dei drastici effetti nazionali e globali della dittatura e poi della post-dittatura dal 1990. Il forum prende il titolo da un progetto in 2 volumi e 60 capitoli che sarà pubblicato quest’anno da https://versolibros.com/ in lingua spagnola. Comprende prospettive sul colpo di Stato e sull’economia neoliberale che ne è seguita, sulla resistenza popolare e sulla lunga “transizione verso la democrazia”, tra cui la rivolta studentesca antipatriarcale del 2018, l’insurrezione nazionale dell’ottobre 2019 e infine la sconfitta della costituzione cilena più progressista di sempre nel 2022.

You are invited to join us for this event 50 years on from the fascist coup of 11 September 1973 where we will discuss the drastic national and global effects of dictatorship, then post-dictatorship since 1990. The forum takes its title from a 2-volume, 60-chapter project to be published this year by https://versolibros.com/ in Spanish. It integrates perspectives on the coup and neoliberal economy which followed, on popular resistance, and the long “transition to democracy”, including the 2018 anti-patriarchal student uprising, October 2019 national insurrection and then the defeat of Chile’s most progressive constitution ever in 2022.
