description This study presents the results of qualitative and documentary research that aimed to explore the so-called problematization of poverty in the discursive corpus of the Chilean government welfare program Seguridades y Oportunidades. Modes in which poverty is constituted as a problem of governance were traced. A corpus that was elaborated by the government in the frame of the creation of this public policy was collected and analyzed, including presidential messages and debates among senators and deputies. The results indicate that the problematization of poverty is constituted through a discourse in which business rhetoric and conservative rhetoric articulate; thus, the problem is not rooted in the economic model but rather in the dependence of subjects on the state and, in the specific case of women, in the crisis of values and the family. What is the logical consequence? The proposal for an entrepreneurial subject enabled by the state to inhabit the entrepreneurial “forces of liberty” through a series of individualizing techniques like entrepreneurialism. It is concluded that the production of a government technology based on the cross of a fierce neoliberalism and a new social conservatism reproduces the classic sexual division of labor within an entrepreneurial scheme.

En este texto se presentan los resultados de una investigación cualitativa y documental, que tuvo como propósito indagar acerca de las denominadas problematizaciones sobre la pobreza en un corpus discursivo del programa gubernamental de asistencia Chile Seguridades y Oportunidades. Se trazaron los modos en que la pobreza se construye en cuanto problema de gobierno. Se recolectó y analizó un corpus natural elaborado en el marco de la creación de esta política pública, compuesto por el programa de gobierno, los mensajes presidenciales y las discusiones de senadores y diputados. Los resultados indican que la problematización de la pobreza se construye mediante un discurso en el que se articulan la retórica empresarial y la conservadora; así el problema no radica en el modelo económico, sino en la dependencia que tienen los sujetos del Estado y, en el caso específico de las mujeres, en una crisis de los valores y de la familia. ¿La consecuencia lógica?: la propuesta de un sujeto emprendedor habilitado por el Estado para habitar las “fuerzas de la libertad” empresarial, a través de una serie de técnicas individualizantes como el emprendimiento. Se concluye que la producción de una tecnología de gobierno basada en el cruce de un férreo neoliberalismo y un nuevo conservadurismo social reproduce la clásica división sexual del trabajo en un esquema empresarial. Este texto apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa qualitativa e documental, cujo objetivo foi indagar sobre as chamadas problematizações sobre a pobreza em um corpus discursivo do programa chileno de assistência governamental Securities and Opportunities. Foram traçadas as formas pelas quais a pobreza é construída como um problema de governo. Foi coletado e analisado um corpus natural elaborado no âmbito da criação dessa política pública, composto pelo programa de governo, as mensagens presidenciais e as discussões de senadores e deputados. Os resultados indicam que a problematização da pobreza é construída por meio de um discurso em que se articulam a retórica empresarial e a retórica conservadora. Assim, o problema não reside no modelo económico, mas na dependência dos súbditos do Estado e, no caso específico das mulheres, numa crise de valores e da família. A consequência lógica(?): a proposta de um sujeito empreendedor habilitado pelo Estado para habitar as “forças da liberdade” empresarial, por meio de uma série de técnicas individualizantes como o empreendedorismo. Conclui-se que a produção de uma tecnologia de governo baseada no cruzamento de um forte neoliberalismo e um novo conservadorismo social reproduz a clássica divisão sexual do trabalho em esquema empresarial.
