    Este artículo describe el proceso de creación del símbolo de los ojos sangrantes en las protestas de Chile en octubre de 2019, cuando cientos de personas terminaron con daños oculares por balines disparados por la policía. Este momento de producción simbólica ha sido poco estudiado en el campo de la comunicación política. Se incorporan conceptos de la tradición culturalista de los estudios de movimientos sociales y se ofrece una observación etnográfica de las protestas que dieron lugar al símbolo.

    This article describes how the “bleeding eyes” symbol was crafted during the social unrest that took place in Chile in October 2019, when hundreds of people suffered from ocular trauma after being shot by the anti-riot police with plastic pellets. This seminal moment of symbolic production has been under-studied in the field of political communication. It draws upon concepts from the so-called “culturalist” approach to social movements studies and conducts an ethnographic account describing the dynamics that gave birth to a symbol.
