Since 2011, political demonstrations have taken place in Chile and have been characterized by an intensive use of public space. These demonstrations have different backgrounds, among which are the commemorative events that various social movements have been developing since the return to democracy. In this article we propose to analyze these events in terms of identifying how they participate in the social production of public space. Following a qualitative methodology, the results realize the history and characteristics of each commemoration, the public space as a space in conflict, the importance of the attainment of public spaces, and how the bodies of protesters assume the position of citizens and pride. These results show the effectiveness of public space as a political space for citizen expression and the contribution of these demonstrations to its strengthening and democratization.
