Resumen
En las Ćŗltimas dĆ©cadas, se ha destacado la emergencia de
distintos conflictos contra los procesos de urbanizaciĆ³n
neoliberal, entre ellos, los conflictos asociados a la defensa
del patrimonio. Dentro de esta literatura, se seƱala cĆ³mo, a
partir de la defensa del barrio, las comunidades generan una
forma de participaciĆ³n democrĆ”tica que se opone a la lĆ³gica
mercantil que orienta la evoluciĆ³n de nuestras ciudades. En este
artĆculo, se tensionarĆ” este argumento a partir del anĆ”lisis del
proceso de patrimonializaciĆ³n del barrio Victoria en Santiago
de Chile, barrio histĆ³rico que articula una identidad residencial
con otra comercial, ligada al cuero y el calzado. A partir de
relatos de vida, realizados a residentes antiguos y locatarios
del barrio, se mostrarĆ” cĆ³mo detrĆ”s de la defensa de los
barrios se articulan expectativas heterogĆ©neas respecto a cĆ³mo
deberĆa ser la ciudad (quiĆ©n y cĆ³mo habitarla), permitiendo,
en algunos casos, excluir a algunos actores de la definiciĆ³n
de comunidad y, en otros, ampliar la escala del conflicto. De
este modo, se pretende contribuir a aquellos estudios que
evalĆŗan el potencial democrĆ”tico de los conflictos ligados a
la defensa del patrimonio.
The past three decades have seen the emergence of various conflicts against neoliberal urbanization processes, including disputes associated with the protection of heritage. The growing literature in this area has pointed out the disclosure of a form of democratic participation developed by the communities in defense of their neighborhood, which opposes the commercial logic that guides the evolution of our cities. In this article, we will discuss this argument through the analysis of the patrimonialization process of Victoria neighborhood in Santiago of Chile, a historical urban zone that articulates a residential identity with a commercial one, linked to leather crafting and footwear. Through an empirical analysis based on life story interviews with former residents and tenants, we will show that, behind neighborhood defense discourses, there are different expectations regarding how the city should be, namely, who could inhabit it and how they should do it. In some cases, these expectations entail the exclusion of actors from the definition of community and, in others, contribute to amplify the conflict. In this way, we intend to contribute to the literature that evaluates the democratic potential of conflicts linked to the defense of heritage.
