| Sumario: | This thesis aims to provide an analysis of the 2019 social upheaval in Chile by contrasting the pre-political conformation of urban protests against the post-political consensus spatialized in Chilean cities. It begins by analyzing the social and urban inequality of Santiago, Chile, during the last thirty years of its development, and how its growth in physical infrastructure hasn’t been accompanied by an increase in equality and improved living conditions for the majority of its inhabitants. It follows by studying how the massive protests of October 2019 provide a shift in spatial discourse which recontextualizes the role of public space and infrastructure as a place where dissent, representation and democracy can become manifest, in spite of the mechanisms used by the state to tame the city into a space of consensus. |
