Abstract
Este artículo analiza experiencias antipartidos que emergieron en Chile entre 1989-2017. Se propone una tipología para reconocer las formas y manifesta-ciones antipartidos que han surgido al interior del sistema político, en especial las adoptadas por partidos “tradicionales” y por quienes irrumpen por primera vez en la escena política. Se advierte que el fenómeno antipartidos puede ser adoptado tanto en organizaciones y liderazgos de izquierda como de derecha. Desde la iz-quierda la estrategia antipartido se utiliza para desplazar a los partidos que no han logrado impulsar transformaciones políticas y económicas profundas. En cambio, desde la derecha ha sido empleado como mecanismo de defensa del statu quo y que permite evitar transformaciones a la institucionalidad política vigente.
This article analyzes anti-party experiences that emerged in Chile between 1989 and 2017. The text proposes a typology to recognize the anti-party forms and manifestations that have arisen within the political system, especially those adopted by traditional parties and by those who have burst onto the political scene for first time. It is noted that the anti-party pheno-menon can be adopted by organizations and leaderships situated both on the left and the right of the political spectrum. On the left, the anti-party strategy is used to displace parties that have failed to promote deep political and eco-nomic transformations. On the other hand, on the right it has been used as a mechanism for defense of the status quo, acting to prevent changes to existing political institutions.
