Abstract
Tras el mega incendio de 2014 que afectó los cerros de Valparaíso, diversos habitantes fueron reubicados en otras localidades de la región en el marco del proceso de reconstrucción. El presente artículo explora las experien-cias de relocalización de un grupo de familias empobrecidas en la ciudad de Vi-lla Alemana, cuyos relatos y significaciones evidencian procesos de relegación social y urbana. A partir de una investigación cualitativa desarrollada durante dos años junto al grupo de población relocalizada – que consideró entrevistas en profundidad, entrevistas en movimiento y observación participante – se argumenta que, en el contexto de una política habitacional viviendista como la chilena, la relocalización post-desastre tiene como resultado agudizar los efectos subjetivos nocivos derivados de la condición de damnificado. Ello se evidencia en cuatro dimensiones principales: (1) sentimiento de abandono del Estado; (2) estigmatización socio-territorial; (3) sociabilidad barrial; y (4) mer-ma del capital espacial. Finalmente, se concluye en torno al daño subjetivo producido por los procesos de relegación post-desastre y su vínculo con la política pública de reconstrucción.
After the 2014 mega fire that affected the hills of Valparaíso, several inhabitants were relocated to other localities within the region, as part of the reconstruction process. This article explores the experiences of relocation of a group of impoverished families in the city of Villa Alemana, whose stories and meanings show processes of social and urban relegation. Based on a qualita-tive research conducted over two years with the relocated population group - which considered in-depth interviews, moving interviews and participant observation - it is argued that, in the context of a viviendista housing policy like the Chilean one, the post-disaster relocation has as result the sharpening of the subjective harmful effects derived from the condition of victim. This is evident in four main dimensions: (1) feeling of abandonment of the State; (2) socio-territorial stigmatization; (3) neighborhood sociability; and (4) diminis-hing of space capital. Finally, it concludes on the subjective damage produced by the processes of post-disaster relegation and its link with the public policy of reconstruction.
