“Thinking Later. Dialogues on post-constitutional Chile” cycle in Talca

• Catholic University of Maule, Auditorium F 100 A, San Miguel Campus, San Miguel Avenue 3605, Talca.
• Thursday, July 25 – 12:00 p.m.

The series “Pensar Después. Dialogues sobre el Chile postconstituyente” (Thinking After. Dialogues on post-constitutional Chile), organized by the Catholic University of Maule (UCM), continues on Thursday, July 25 at 12:00 noon in the F 100 A auditorium of the San Miguel Campus in Talca. On this occasion, the distinguished researcher, sociologist and psychoanalyst Kathya Araujo will be present.

Araujo is an academic at the Institute of Advanced Studies of the University of Santiago. She was director of the Millennium Nucleus on Authority and Power Asymmetry of the same institution and is currently director of the Interuniversity Nucleus on Individuals, Social Ties and Power Asymmetries (NIUMAP).

With an extensive career and numerous publications, Araujo has been invited as a professor and researcher to various international universities, including the Free University of Berlin (Germany), the School of Advanced Studies in Social Sciences (EHESS, France) and the State University of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). Her research focuses on the effects of structural transformations in Chilean society and their political repercussions.

“In the first activity, we welcomed the sociologist and National Humanities Award winner, Manuel Antonio Garretón, to the UCM, who spoke about the characteristics that would shape the current moment in Chilean society. We had a great turnout of the public, where not only academics and students from the UCM attended, but also the Maule community in general,” said Javier Agüero Ágüila, professor from the UCM Philosophy Department.

On the motivation behind this space, Dr. Agüero Ágüila said that “It is an invitation to respond to the perplexity that Chile is going through after two attempts to generate a new constitution. It is also a regional effort to give space to the current political debate and to highlight the importance of the university, in general, being a zone where different views and voices can recognize each other and open up to the difference that constitutes us. The invitation then is to reflect together on this unclassifiable time (“mutant” it has also been called),” he said.

The cycle, organized by the UCM, with the support of the General Directorate of Liaison and the Faculty of Religious and Philosophical Sciences, is planned with new activities, awaiting the visit of the writer and psychoanalyst, Constanza Michelson in September, and concluding in November with the presence of the prominent political scientist Juan Pablo Luna.
