The Future Is Inherited: Fragments of a Chile in Revolt

This collection of articles and essays was written alongside the events of the ongoing Chilean popular rebellion. Parallel to what emerged with force on October 18, 2019, these are fragments that carry with them the sign of danger and the potential for cohesion, both because of the flammable matter they deal with and because of the urgency they create. In Rodrigo Karmy Bolton’s writing, the incandescence of the people, the Averroist analysis of a necessary Constituent Assembly, and the bankruptcy of the transitional episteme of the state, are brought forward with a feverish rigor. The revolt, like his writing, continues to remind us that in the most decisive tremor, in the adjustment with our historicity and, with the words of Salvador Allende, the future is inherited.
