| Abstract: | This article examines the translocal relations of the Chilean Student Movement. While existing research has primarily focused on the movement's national context, this study explores its broader global interactions. Drawing on life stories and secondary sources, the article examines three pivotal scenes of translocal relations that shaped the movement's socio-political imaginary and organisational strategies. The Chilean Student Movement's translocal relationships, integrating narratives from the Latin American tradition and global organisations like the United Nations and OECD, deepened the movement's understanding of educational inequality and enhanced its mobilisation power. Furthermore, the connections with the Colombian student movement, highlighting the production of solidarity networks and collaborative knowledge efforts, raised awareness about neoliberal educational agendas and developed effective strategies against repressive measures. In the long term, the translocal connections between political collectives and former activists emerging from the Chilean student movement and the Spanish Indignados broadened the movement's political strategy beyond university campuses to institutional politics. To conclude, the article discusses the significance of translocal relations, stressing the importance of evaluating long-term consequences and addressing methodological challenges in such projects. |
