Abstract

In the late 1960s, student protests took place in many countries of the world, which later became part of the Cultural revolution of 1968. This article analyzes the Chilean version of the Cultural revolution — rupturism, which significantly influenced the entire subsequent history of society. Based on interviews with witnesses, as well as newspaper articles, it is concluded that rupturism is largely a mental generational conflict that led to the division of society into supporters of the old value coordinates and the new ones.
