“…Como se señaló anteriormente, en Chile las políticas públicas de los últimos treinta años se han caracterizado por abordar los problemas sociales desde una perspectiva neoliberal. Ejemplos de esto son la falta de reconocimiento por parte del Estado de los pueblos indígenas (Bolados, 2012) y la no distinción en términos de apoyo financiero recibido por actores públicos y privados de educación superior (Simbürger & Donoso, 2018). El enfoque neoliberal de la resolución de problemas sociales, impuesto por la dictadura cívico-militar y continuado en posdictadura se presenta como si fuera una respuesta neutral y técnica (Simbürger & Guzmán, 2019), invisibilizando el fuerte contenido ideológico que las "soluciones neoliberales" generan.…”

Se presenta la construcción y validación de la “Escala de problemas sociales en población chilena”. La escala fue elaborada considerando las principales problemáticas sociales a nivel nacional y comunal. Para su validación se usó metodología cuantitativa con diseño de carácter no experimental de corte transversal. Los participantes correspondieron a 456 habitantes de la comuna de Valparaíso, Chile. Se usó muestreo no probabilístico por cuotas que reflejara la composición demográfica regional en términos de sexo y grupo de edad en la comuna. Se aplicó análisis factorial exploratorio empleando el software SPSS V24.0, y análisis factorial confirmatorio a través de R console y la interfaz Rcmdr. Se pudo establecer que la estructura factorial de la escala logra distinguir entre problemas nacionales y locales.

“…In post-dictatorship, at the end of the XX century, a neoliberal discourse was naturalized in chilean higher education. Characterized by first, the silencing of the dictatorial origins of the system; second, the idea of neutrality as a means to present public and private higher education as if they were equal; and third, the role of social democracy in a 180 degrees' inversion of meanings of the public and the private (Simbürger and Donoso 2020).…”

“…The universities with a local engagement can project a long time relationship with private and public actors who make possible a better solution to the realities where they are insert (Rivera-Polo et al 2018), but in a Chilean system, they would stay off the development ratios. Thus the social role not always can adjust to the market model (Simbürger and Donoso 2020).…”

The relationship between the State, the market and universities puts a strain on the role of the latter as agents of change. In Chile, the way in which universities interact with society demands bidirectionality as a characteristic to ensure the quality of institutions. However, the vocation that brings them to a specific territory has yet not been revealed. This article explores how these institutions express themselves through interaction patterns established by their vocation to the territory. A qualitative approach was used to address the dialectic interaction between university and territory. It worked exploring how the community sees from this perspective. It was concluded that the engagement with the territory responds more to a philanthropic spirit rather than to a university policy, which does not provide evidence on how the institution affects the territory and vice versa. This invites us to reconsider what is the social role of universities.

“…La política social articula toda su multiplicidad de elementos en torno a racionalidades de gobierno o gubernamentalidades históricamente situadas (Bailey, 2013). En nuestro caso, la gubernamentalidad neoliberal es la que se encuentra desplegada como modo dominante de gobierno sobre las subjetividades e instituciones de ES (Espinoza, 2017;Pitton, 2007;Simbürger, 2013Simbürger, , 2018. Dicha gubernamentalidad organiza el orden del discurso de la política educacional a través del cual se promueve la disposición de los sujetos a asumir la responsabilidad de emprender acciones que aseguren y legitimen su inclusión en tanto sujetos capaces de ostentar el derecho a la ES.…”

Based on Foucauldian notions such as discourse, regime of subjectification, and governmentality, the article analyzes one of the dominant discourses constituting the affirmative action policy in higher education in Chile. Our analysis is based principally on main documents associated to the discursive formation of the Support and Effective Access into Higher Education Program (PACE by its acronyms in Spanish), the main affirmative action program in that country. We argue that this program deploys a meritocratic exceptionality subjectification regime that governs inclusion and right to HE through a discursive chain that articulates notions of selectivity, excellence, quality, talent, sacrifice, responsibilization and critique against the dominant admission policy. This articulation is inscribed and mobilized in the discourses about working-class students, their families and schools, and the university. This makes possible, on the one hand, the legitimacy of the program as well as of their students as new constituencies with the right to HE, and on the other hand, the strategic foreclosure and invisibilisation of the structures of inequality that sustain the majority of working-class students and their knowledges excluded from HE.
