Biopolitics and forgetfulness in postmetropolitan Santiago

Authors

  • José Solís O.

Abstract

The postmetropolitan condition of Santiago allows the creation of different ways of identity reconstitution, resisting aesthetically the urban fragmentation. This would occur through certain daily practices of domestic design, generating the liberal illusion of entepreneurship, and –at the same time- collaborating on the consolidation of an urban imaginary, whose ultimate effect is a symbolic forgetting of the political violence sustained by the current scenario of territorial dispersion.
