Encanto as Institutionalism

The house is the liberal state structure (in the poli sci sense), the candle is the effervescent faith in this institution, the family and their respective powers represent the knowledge and technologies developed within the system:

Strength - Construction and transportation

Weather - Forecasting, irrigation, insulation and air conditioning

Healing - Modern medicine

Plants - Agriculture and horticulture

Hearing - Communication and intelligence

Animal Communication - Ecology

Shapeshifting - Since Camilo is a teen who "doesn't quite know who he is yet" and is able to take on the roles of others, he can be seen as the self-determination and social-mobility afforded to youth within our system.

Prophesy - Inconvenient truths and those who tell them, scientists and journalists able to see the disastrous paths an unrestrained system of industry and development will lead to, be it climate change or institutional collapse, but are rejected as dangerous ideas rather than concerns to be understood and/or rectified.

Mirabel, lacking any talent of her own, is of course the politics required to hold this system together against its contradictions and the strain of collective stress, misery, and isolation we all seem to endure at the moment, to little sympathy from older generations who arguably suffered worse to give us this world but are still in the wrong most of the time.
