This chapter explores relations between discontent, social movements, and collective protest in Chile. I define discontent broadly as a feeling of discomfort with some aspect of the world, a definition that encompasses dissatisfaction with one’s personal economic situation or distrust in political authorities through to the perception of abuse by a powerful actor. By collective protest, I refer to any action between two or more people in a public setting that seeks to affect the social world, either by changing or preserving some aspect of it, through “non-institutional” tactics that may range from signing a petition to marching in the street, blocking roads, or occupying private or public buildings (Meyer 2007; Taylor and Van Dyke 2007). Finally, social movements are networks of people that use protest tactics in a bid to change or preserve some aspect of society.
