Abstract: The outbreak of protests known as the estallido social in Chile in late 2019 and early 2020 sparked widespread demands for a new constitution to replace the one implemented by dictator Augusto Pinochet in 1980. While ultimately unsuccessful, many of these initiatives employed inventive and creative methods to challenge the role of the non-human environment within the country’s constitutional framework. Engaging with thinkers such as Bruno Latour and Eduardo Gudynas, this chapter examines contemporary Chilean cultural production that advocates for a new, interconnected constitutional settlement.
