Through a phenomenological description of the social outburst in Chile since October 2019, this paper intend to show the abuse of the notion of model and the ambivalence of plurality as analytical category. The protest appears in different perspectives: 1) As the expression of a social movement which attempts to change the model; 2) the arise of an unspecific malaise crossed by a constituent/ depriving process; 3) A nihilistic expression of excluded, reluctant to all kind of authority; 4) A drug dealers strategy in order to cover territories in marginal zones. The connection with the political system put the protest on another framework of significance, and set up the question of an alternative governability; otherwise, this description involves a turn of reflection against the traditional sense of understanding: instead of seeking the permanent through the transitory, the permanent appears crossed by the transitoriness and immersed in the singularity of an experience, narratively communicable.
