Chile is widely known as the first experiment in neoliberalism in
Latin America, carried out and made possible through state
violence. Since the beginning of the transition in 1990, the state
has pursued a national project of reconciliation construed as debts
owed to the population. The state owed a "social debt" to the poor
accrued through inequalities generated by economic liberalization,
while society owed a "moral debt" to the victims of human rights
violations. "Life in Debt" invites us into lives and world of a
poor urban neighborhood in Santiago. Tracing relations and lives
between 1999 and 2010, Clara Han explores how the moral and
political subjects imagined and asserted by poverty and mental
health policies and reparations for human rights violations are
refracted through relational modes and their boundaries. Attending
to intimate scenes and neighborhood life, Han reveals the force of
relations in the making of selves in a world in which unstable work
patterns, illness, and pervasive economic indebtedness are aspects
of everyday life. Lucidly written, "Life in Debt" provides a unique
meditation on both the past inhabiting actual life conditions but
also on the difficulties of obligation and achievements of
responsiveness.
