This article presents some results of an investigation whose objective was to revise the spatial manifestations of the urban weakening process in Santiago, Chile. For this, LefebvreÍ€™s theory of the social production of space is addressed as a starting point, emphasizing its subjective dimension. This framework allows organizing the available information relative to Santiago and establishing that this is a city where social gaps are evidenced concomitant to the hierarchical order of its diverse municipalities. In order to further analyse the subjective aspects of this spatial production, a theoretical multidisciplinary framework is applied, developing concepts elaborated by Heller, Lechner, Soja and Foucault. The conclusion points that the subjective dimension of the spatial production is found in the development of counterspaces and counterbehaviors by those who live in the periphery, as processes that materialize in the creation of transmissible sets of norms that allow certain freedom of action in an unequal city.Downloads
