El Instituto de Estudios de la Sociedad, sus intelectuales y la revista Punto y Coma: una crítica a la derecha economicista y a la nueva izquierda en Chile

This article aims to examine the ideas that the intellectuals of the Institute of Studies of Society disseminate in the journal Punto y coma, a publication of this think tank. Headed by intellectual figures such as Claudio Alvarado, Josefina Araos, Daniel Mansuy or Pablo Ortúzar, this think tank is recognized for its public interventions and for renewing the current debates of the Chilean right. In this way, the first issue of Punto y Coma was published in March 2019. Since then, it has become an expressive organ of the ideas of this group of intellectuals about the recent history and political events that occurred in the country. The theoretical approach dialogues with the sociology of intellectuals and with the sociology of intellectual interventions. Relative to the methodology, the eight issues of this institutional journal are analyzed, and a review is made of the main guidelines that this think tank seeks to position in the cultural battle of ideas. In addition, semi-structured interviews are used. It is concluded that this center, in its critique of the economistic right and the new left, proposes a cultural conservatism limited by social reality.
