Resumen

El presente trabajo investiga y da cuenta del sentimiento de duelo evidenciado en ciertos sectores de la población chilena luego de la derrota electoral tras el plebiscito constitucional de septiembre de 2022 en Chile. ¿Cómo es posible que se
pueda experimentar un duelo ante el rechazo de un referéndum político? Sugerimos que la experiencia de duelo se relaciona de manera importante con una pérdida de posibilidades de vida y con la emergencia de perturbaciones en la identidad
práctica. La profunda tristeza experimentada por muchos chilenos ante esta derrota política puede atribuirse a la importancia del plebiscito constitucional para sus identidades. El proceso de duelo implica una renegociación, a través de la
memoria y la imaginación orientada hacia al futuro, de los aspectos pasados, presentes y futuros de la identidad práctica personal y colectiva.
