Resumen
The recent literature on social movements has highlighted the fundamental role of leaders in
their emergency and development. One of the most important discussions in this regard has focused on understanding the relationship between agency and structure in the context of collective protests.
Using conceptual tools proposed by Bourdieu (1986), it has been suggested that the performance of the
leaders of a social movement can be understood from their social position in the different fields in which
they move, which in turn is determined by the habitus and the types of capital they own. In order to
overcome obstacles and recognize and catalyze political opportunities in the emergence and development
of a mobilization, the use of several types of capital other than economic is required. From a qualitative
perspective and analyzing the discourse of the leaders of two territorial social movements that occurred in
two regions of the south of Chile between 2011 and 2012, we seek to understand the relative importance
of the different capitals of the leaders in the emergence, development and results of a social movement.
Territorial movements are particularly interesting for this purpose, as it has traditionally been studied
leaders based on functional (e.g. students, workers), ethnic, gender and other socio-demographically
homogeneous movements, while territorial movements tend to summon people from different ages,
gender, economic activities, ideologies and social levels, which complicates the work of leaders and
makes it difficult to achieve the confluence of interests, forcing leaders to deploy and complement their
networks, knowledge, skills and resources in order to achieve the success of the movement.
