Consenso político y pacto educativo. pospolítica y educación en chile (1990-2012)

Abstract

This article examines Chilean education policy, taking as a frame of reference the ideas of postpolitics and post-democracy. It uses the idea of the transition as consensus, as a "democracy of agreements", which it interprets, according to Rancière's definition, as the negation of politics. Using this framework, it analyses some of the key aspects of recent Chilean educational policy, in order to understand the limitations preventing the adequate promotion of the right to education.
