Este ensayo tiene como objetivo reflexionar sobre el impacto del golpe de Estado en el mundo del trabajo en Chile. En 1973, el disciplinamiento de la mano de obra era una de las preocupaciones centrales de la clase empresarial. El golpe militar les ofreció una nueva oportunidad para recobrar el control de las y los trabajadores y la producción, tarea que delegaron en las fuerzas armadas. A partir del análisis de casos de exonerados políticos y de violación de los derechos humanos, se muestra como la dictadura buscó "normalizar" las relaciones al interior de la empresa, sentando las bases para las grandes transformaciones.

This article discusses the relationship between company towns and peripheral cities by looking at the evolution of two Chilean towns between 1917 and the 1940s. It argues that the construction and the regulations of company towns created acute social conflicts and economic contradictions in urban settlements located in the periphery. It also analyses how the periphery both challenged the hegemonic dreams of planned communities and became a safety valve to release tensions from the camps.

More than two-thirds of Latinx undergraduate students in the U.S. obtain their college degrees from Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI), a designation based on the proportion of students who are of Latinx descent and low-income, instead of any federal guidelines for serving Latinx students. Existing literature identifies factors that aid students' success at HSIs, but there is little knowledge about how Latinx students experience newly designated HSIs. This project centers the experiences of a sample of Latinx undergraduate students attending a newly designated HSI. Data consist of six focus group interviews with 23 students, focusing on participants' decisions to attend the university and their experiences on campus. Data show students were attracted to the university with promotional materials portraying diversity and Latinx inclusion. However, they experienced the campus culture as promoting Latinx visibility in performative ways and among invisible workers, such as cleaning staff and groundskeepers. They found Latinx people and cultures to be largely invisible in the academic spaces of the university. Findings show how this mismatch between promotional materials and students' experiences hinders their success and colors their experiences on campus.
