Summary (analytical) On 18 October 2019, thousands of Chilean young people went to the streets to demand a fairer society, starting a process of constitutional change and citizenship. This article analyses this process by focusing on disruptive strategies by young people to challenge public spaces in the first months of protest. To this end, an ethnography was carried out over ten weeks — October to December 2019 — in the cities of Santiago and Valparaíso. The results show that these young people are identified as part of a multitude of people who have experienced citizens, demanding greater social participation. It is concluded that this awakening reflects the social trends of young people in other parts of the world, which also challenge and demand social transformations in liberal democracies. ; Resumen (analítico) El 18 de octubre de 2019, miles de jóvenes chilenos salieron a las calles para exigir una sociedad más justa, iniciando un proceso de cambio constitucional y de ciudadanía.

The democratic leadership literature emphasises those leadership practices that involve dialogue and communication within the frame of reference of existing organizational structures, discourses and hierarchies. Our contribution is to problematise this approach to democracy from the perspective of the work of Jacques Rancière, which highlights the importance of dissensus, that is to say a breaking away from organizational structures and hierarchies. We argue that this allows us to conceptualise collective leadership in a postfoundational way that connects a critique of individual and organization-bound leadership to a democratic logic, in particular through Rancière's analysis of the myth of the murder of the shepherd. This also enables us to study radically disruptive, non-hierarchical and pre-dialogic dimensions of leadership that may destruct as well as construct. Two democratic leadership practices are outlined: contingent acts of leadership and the practice of radical contestation. Our argument is that both practices of democratic leadership can be deployed as radical ruptures and disruptions of organizational orders, beyond dialogue.
