Sumario:This article provides a reading of the Chilean political transition from an editorial dimension, which is considered as illuminating of that which was at stake. The analysis is focused on the trajectory of independent publishers, a group whose emergence coincides with the beginning of the process towards the recovery of democracy. This article suggests that the study of independent publishers in the post- dictatorship is crucial in order to inquire into the relationship between culture, democratization and neo-liberalism in Chile.The article further demonstrates the manner in which and under what circumstances the organizational modes that are deployed by these agents and the internationalization of their discourse as well as their public actions, all pertain to a strategy of collective resistance to a double phenomenon. At a local level it is the transition to democracy which will delineate the specific institutional, economic, social and cultural framework where these producers are defining their catalogues and developing their work. At an international level, there is a phenomenon of deep reshaping of the environment of the book which shows a tendency towards high levels of concentration, while showing, at the same time, a persistent appearance of «independent» editorial projects. In this sense, the public agenda of these agents can be deciphered in terms of cultural resistance that produces a discourse and a practice that, from a non-mainstream stance, puts in motion the idea of « independence » as a resource of symbolic interpelation that has political impact.
