Abstract
Este artículo plantea que las políticas públicas constituyen una práctica de contrainsurgencia social, por cuanto los mecanismos de definición, implementación y seguimiento a las políticas en pocos casos se orientan a promover la organización social y la participación activa de los beneficiarios; por el contrario, los órganos y actores del poder hegemónico a través de ellas ejercen un control sobre las organizaciones y las personas destinatarios/ as de estas. Nuestro planteamiento se sustenta en el análisis hermenéutico de los discursos de un grupo de dirigentes sociales del sector Pedro de Valdivia, de la comuna de Temuco (Chile), con los cuales se inicia un proceso de investigación iniciado el año 2008, en conjunto con un grupo de estudiantes de séptimo semestre de la Carrera de Trabajo Social, que permitiera un reconocimiento mutuo, para la posterior inserción de prácticas profesionales. Los aportes desarrollados por Gramsci sobre Hegemonía y Bloque Histórico, nos permite fundamentar el análisis, interpretación y comprensión de los discursos de estos dirigentes sociales
This article states that public policies constitute a social counterinsurgency practice, because the mechanisms of definition, application and follow-up on the policies are oriented only in few cases to promoting the social organization and active participation of the beneficiaries; on the contrary, the organs and actors of hegemonic power exercise control through them over the organizations and people whom these policies address. The position of this paper is supported by hermeneutic analysis of the discourses of a group of social leaders in Pedro de Valdivia, an area of Temuco, Chile, with whom a research process was begun in 2008, together with a group of college students in the seventh semester of social work, that allows for mutual recognition to later be inserted in professional practices. The contributions developed by Gramsci regarding hegemony and historical background allow the authors to establish the analysis, interpretation and comprehension of the discourses of those social leaders
