Sumario:This article proposes a revising of the consensus on the post-Pinochet "Chilean model" (democratic stability and neoliberal economy), reached by the political elite that took office in March 1990. Following a "symptomatic" interpretation -such as that offered by Althusser y Balibar (1970)- of a series of semi-structured interviews, it is argued that the consensus, far from being exclusively an exercise of political rationality, is primordially based on a traumatic process of reconstitution of a political generational discursive identity, which took place after the coup d’Etat of 1973. Furthermore, the 'traumatic consensus', as an expression of a political generation that rejects the conflict, would be one of the explicative keys of the specificity of the Chilean model. This, in turn, raises questions about the perdurability and convenience of such a consensus, in a neoliberal context in which social conflicts are not only not disappearing but also seem to be sentenced to increase.
