Abstract

The aim of this text is to show the socio-political relevance of the writing with which the Chilean social outbreak of October 2019 began: “Evade!”. Using the tools of the anthropology of writing, I analyze the main textual features of this brief writing, as well as its conditions of appearance and propagation in the city, in order to characterize its pragmatic potential. The analysis allows us to understand the profound adequacy of this writing to the operating modalities of contemporary Chilean neoliberalism, but also its capacity to suggest clues to understand the conditions for emergence of a new political sensibility.
