| Sumario: | The manuscript aims to present the political discourses of disability dissident activists around the Telethon campaign in Chile between 2016-2020. Paying special attention to the meanings and practices that are played around the disability category. It problematizes the role played by the State and civil society in the dispute for political hegemony towards children with disabilities in Chile. Among the findings, the main theme is: 1) Economy of punishment: the dictatorship of charity and two sub-themes: 1.1) Manifesting discontent: actions against communicational and media authoritarianism; 1.2) Dismantling the enabling ideology: the shadow of solidarity. It is concluded that the difficulty in eradicating the campaign is based on a strategic alliance between the neoliberal model, charity and spectacle as a mechanism of social stratification and oppression. |
