Management education in Chile: From politics of pragmatism to (Im)possibilities of resistance

Abstract

Having in mind a personal question about the status of affairs within Chilean management educational practices and its critical possibilities, I engaged in the exploration of its historical and social conditions of (im)possibilities against the backdrop of Critical Management Studies field, Critical Management Education stream as well as the traditional Latin American radical philosophy. To make sense about these themes and debates I informed my research by the theoretical developments of Laclau and Mouffe's Discourse Theory, which played the role of both, general framework and methodological inspiration.
