Addressing a pragmatic sociology perspective, this article presents the results of a study carried out in Chile in a context characterized by growing public debate about social inequalities and increasing criticisms from ordinary people. Using a methodology based on a classificatory card game, we seek to understand how people describe society, its hierarchies, and the groups that compose it, as well as the arguments used to justify or criticize inequalities. We analyze the principles and values that organize the representations of Chilean society and focus on the dynamics of class and gender that feed those classifications. This exercise helps show that social critique and legitimation of inequality can operate simultaneously but at different levels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Sobre la base del concepto amplio de capacidades propuesto por Amartya Sen y mediante los datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Estratificación Social (ENES) de 2009, en este artículo se explora la influencia del sexo en las diferencias de capacidades de los individuos consideradas importantes para lograr resultados que determinan sus niveles de bienestar o deprivación. En términos de capacidades, se investiga la habilidad de los individuos para tener control material, cultural, social y político de su vida y entorno, distinguiendo la situación de hombres y mujeres. Una vez construidas las medidas individuales de capacidades, se probó la hipótesis de la desventaja femenina a través del ajuste de modelos multivariados en los que se incluían controles relevantes. Los resultados obtenidos sugieren que en Chile existen diferencias no despreciables en capacidades entre mujeres y hombres. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
