THE INTERVENTIONIST STATE AND SOCIAL CONTROL THROUGH POPULAR PARTICIPATION IN THE NATIONAL MILK PROGRAM (PNL) DURING THE POPULAR UNITY GOVERNMENT, 1970-1973.

Abstract

This work shows how the National Milk Program was an expression of the interventionism of a revolutionary social state that urged the social control of the popular sectors, recognizing the community work of the professionals of the social and of the people. Based on ministerial files, charity posters from Polla Chilena de Beneficencia and interviews with beneficiaries, this article explains the mission of the State in the modeling of bodies, the new status of social professionals and the foundations of social participation. From the above, it can be deduced that social control permeated different dimensions of social relations, aiming to correct the body and mind of the mother-people.
