This study offers a novel examination of far-right movements, focusing on their rationality and subjectivation within the Latin American context, particularly Chile. Moving beyond mere denunciation, we explore the philosophical, sociological, and political theoretical dimensions to comprehend the intricate web of social practices and discourses that shape far-right subjectivities. Anchored in the pivotal events of the Chilean social outbreak, dual constituent processes, and the 50th anniversary of the Pinochet coup, this research scrutinises the complex assemblage of statements, practices, and representations that inform far-right ideologies. The global proliferation of far-right groups, characterised by nationalist and anti-globalisation sentiments, signals an institutionalisation of radical right discourses. This paper interrogates the continuity and specificities of these movements, examining the narrative of antagonism, internal enemies, and the critical relationship with the media. By problematising the usual economic crisis explanations, we delve into the socio-political crises that provide fertile ground for these ideologies to flourish. Our methodological approach integrates Foucault’s concept of subjectivation, framing far-right actions as a form of political agency and rationality. This perspective allows for a nuanced understanding of how far-right identities and discourses are constructed and legitimised in specific socio-historical contexts. We highlight the role of new digital technologies in disseminating far-right ideologies, noting their capacity to mobilise affects and expand political spaces. This research contributes to the theoretical discourse by advocating for an interdisciplinary approach that transcends traditional denunciation, offering a comprehensive analysis of far-right subjectivation. It underscores the importance of understanding the production of far-right rationalities as a necessary endeavour for social theory, providing insights into the conditions that enable the mainstreaming of these movements.

摘要

This study offers a novel examination of far-right movements, focusing on their rationality and subjectivation within the Latin American context, particularly Chile. Moving beyond mere denunciation, we explore the philosophical, sociological, and political theoretical dimensions to comprehend the intricate web of social practices and discourses that shape far-right subjectivities. Anchored in the pivotal events of the Chilean social outbreak, dual constituent processes, and the 50th anniversary of the Pinochet coup, this research scrutinises the complex assemblage of statements, practices, and representations that inform far-right ideologies. The global proliferation of far-right groups, characterised by nationalist and anti-globalisation sentiments, signals an institutionalisation of radical right discourses. This paper interrogates the continuity and specificities of these movements, examining the narrative of antagonism, internal enemies, and the critical relationship with the media. By problematising the usual economic crisis explanations, we delve into the socio-political crises that provide fertile ground for these ideologies to flourish. Our methodological approach integrates Foucault’s concept of subjectivation, framing far-right actions as a form of political agency and rationality. This perspective allows for a nuanced understanding of how far-right identities and discourses are constructed and legitimised in specific socio-historical contexts. We highlight the role of new digital technologies in disseminating far-right ideologies, noting their capacity to mobilise affects and expand political spaces. This research contributes to the theoretical discourse by advocating for an interdisciplinary approach that transcends traditional denunciation, offering a comprehensive analysis of far-right subjectivation. It underscores the importance of understanding the production of far-right rationalities as a necessary endeavour for social theory, providing insights into the conditions that enable the mainstreaming of these movements.
