Abstract
Las controversias que se desarrollan en torno a las relaciones entre sociedad y naturaleza tienen variadas formas de emergencia, de expresión y de resolución, dado que están marcadas por los intereses que participan de ellas. El presente trabajo analiza la participación de grupos de interés en el debate parlamentario producido en los dos primeros trámites constitucionales de la Reforma al Código de Aguas en Chile, con el fin de identificar modos en que su heterogeneidad organiza los acuerdos acerca de qué es el agua para la sociedad chilena. Luego de analizar la composición de éstos debates, se concluye que la heterogeneidad de grupos de interés que los integran opera como un método de legitimidad, pero a su vez contiene asimetrías geográficas, orgánicas y epistémicas, que favorecen a los grupos que provienen de las regiones centrales del país.
The controversies that develop around the relations between society and nature assume varied forms of emergence, expression and resolution, given that they are marked by the interests that participate in them. This paper analyzes the participation of interest groups in the parliamentary debate produced in the first two constitutional procedures on the Water Code Reform in Chile, in order to identify ways in which their heterogeneity organizes agree-ments about what water is for Chilean society. After analyzing the composition of these debates, it is concluded that the heterogeneity of the interest groups involved operates as a method of legitimacy, but at the same time contains geographic, organic and epistemic asymmetries which favor groups from the central regions of the country.
