Abstract
The result of the 2022 plebiscite in Chile indicates a new stage of the Chilean neoconservative and oligarchic reaction, as well as of the mood of the social forces that developed with the 2019 revolt. Drawing on political research collective Vitrina Dystópica's archive of dialogues, interviews, and interventions, this article proposes an analytical exercise that seeks to challenge the ongoing totalitarian coup of the political imagination. This exploration of the memory of struggles allows for gathering techniques, strategies, and moments of vitalization to affirm the affective defeat and recompose collective forces in new questions for the future, joy, and dignity. The reflections shared here take place in a concrete practice of political reorganization that we call espacio.tierra, which argues that the revolt does not start on October 18, 2019 nor does it end with the plebiscite on September 4, 2022, but rather it exists in the affective infrastructures over which collective questions and practices are raised for the reproduction and multiplication of life.
