| description | Taking Chilean society as a case study, this article is inserted in discussions on political power and economic elites, drawing attention to the importance of status. The objective is to propose an interpretation of the specificity of this crisis and of elite malaise in Chile today. To this end, an argument is presented based on the principles of interpretative historical sociology from Max Weber’s theory of stratification (the distinction between classes, status, and party) and the methodology of ideal types. On this basis, an analytical reasoning is presented in three moments – the first marked by the validity of the ideal type of señorial society; the second, by its crisis in the 1970s and by the recomposition of the elite domain after the coup d'état, when there was a successful restructuring of classes and parties and an insufficient status restoration; and the third moment characterized by the specificity of the current malaise of the elites in Chile which, unlike other political or economic crises, has its focus on the status order. Thus, attention is drawn to the need to complement the study of the relations between economic elites and political power, differentiating between legitimacy crises and status malaise. |

Tomando como caso de estudio la sociedad chilena, el presente artículo se inserta en las discusiones sobre el poder político y las élites económicas, llamando la atención sobre la importancia de las dimensiones estatutarias. El objetivo es proponer una interpretación sobre la especificidad de la crisis y el malestar elitario en el Chile actual. Para ello, se presenta una argumentación basada en los principios de la sociología histórica interpretativa a partir de la teoría de la estratificación de Max Weber (la distinción entre clases, estatus y partido) y la metodología de los tipos ideales. Sobre esta base, se presenta un razonamiento analítico en tres periodos: el primero marcado por la vigencia del tipo ideal de la sociedad señorial; el segundo, por su crisis en la década de los 70 y por la recomposición del dominio elitario tras el golpe de Estado cuando se produjo una exitosa restructuración de las dimensiones clase y partido, y un insuficiente restablecimiento estatutario; y el tercero caracterizado por la especificidad del malestar actual de las élites en Chile que, a diferencia de otras crisis políticas o económicas, tiene su foco en el orden estatutario. Así, se llama la atención sobre la necesidad de complementar el estudio de las relaciones entre élites económicas y poder político, diferenciando las crisis de legitimidad y los malestares estatutarios. Tomando como estudo de caso a sociedade chilena, este artigo se insere nas discussões sobre o poder político e as elites econômicas, chamando a atenção para a importância das dimensões referentes ao status. O objetivo é propor uma interpretação sobre a especificidade da crise e do mal-estar elitista no Chile hoje. Para tanto, apresenta-se uma argumentação fundamentada nos princípios da sociologia histórica interpretativa, fundamentada na teoria da estratificação de Max Weber (a distinção entre classes, status e partido) e na metodologia dos tipos ideais. Com esta base, apresenta-se um raciocínio analítico em três períodos: o primeiro, marcado pela vigência do tipo ideal de sociedade senhorial; o segundo, por sua crise na década de 1970 e pela recomposição do regime elitista após o golpe de Estado, quando houve uma bem-sucedida reestruturação das dimensões de classe e partido, e uma insuficiente restauração do status; e o terceiro, caracterizado pela especificidade do atual mal-estar das elites no Chile que, diferentemente de outras crises políticas ou econômicas, tem seu foco na ordem do status. Assim, chama-se a atenção para a necessidade de complementar o estudo das relações entre as elites económicas e o poder político, diferenciando entre crises de legitimidade e mal-estar sobre o status.
