Abstract
En este artículo se analizan las intervenciones realizadas en diez Monumentos Históricos Nacionales (MHN) del casco fundacional de la ciudad de Santiago en el contexto del estallido social de octubre 2019. Para ello se hizo un re-gistro fotográfico semana a semana hasta fin de año, con el objetivo de caracterizar las intervenciones en su dimensión material y espacial-contextual. Nuestra inves-tigación parte de la premisa que los MHN son parte de un discurso oficial y repre-sentan valores que los consagran como patrimonio. Por lo tanto, las intervenciones dan cuenta de un uso y apropiación específica de este patrimonio y nos permite identificar significados y discursos subalternos, con nuevos agentes, memorias y relatos. Las intervenciones de los MHN y sus Zonas Típicas están poniendo en en-tredicho las narrativas oficiales, normativas y hegemonizantes, posicionando a los Monumentos como espacios en disputa, donde se configura una nueva forma de entender el presente de los MHN y con ello, el futuro de la relación que establecen con quienes habitan Santiago.
This article presents an analysis of the interventions carried out on ten national historical monuments (MHN), part of the historical heritage of Santiago, Chile, in the context of October 2019 social outburst. To do this, from October to December 2019, a weekly photographic record was kept, to characterize the interventions in their material and spatial-contextual dimension. Our research starts from the premise that the MHN are part of an official discourse and represent values that consecrate them as heritage; therefore, the interventions account as a specific use and appropriation of this heritage, allowing us to identify deeper discourses and meanings, with new agents, memories and stories. The interventions of the MHN and their Typical Zones are questioning the official, regulatory and hegemonic narratives, thus positioning the Monuments as disputed spaces, configuring a new way of understanding the present of the MHN and with it, the future of the relationship established between them and those who live in Santiago.
