Cover photo description: A photo taken on April 20, 2024, during the "Other Methodologies" gathering, which explored the territorial transformations of the Colina commune associated with extractivism. The photo shows a wall of earth that separates opposing realities of the city, as a material expression of territorial fragmentation. The event was led by Sergio Iriarte and Gabriela Salinas, who appear in the photograph, along with other members of the NGO Investiga Colina.

Editorial N°48

Lo que se invisibiliza

We live in times of great uncertainty. In Chile, as in other parts of the continent, we are witnessing the return of political projects that subordinate environmental, social, and cultural issues to a single logic: economic growth. In this context, nature is once again treated as a resource, territory as a market, and inequality as an acceptable cost of progress. This is not the first time. We are already familiar with this model: we experienced it in Chile at the end of the 20th century, and its effects are still visible in the peripheries of our cities, in landscapes that have been labeled as “sacrificial”, or in the increase in criminal violence as a sign of the breakdown of community ties. This issue of the magazine does not speak directly about politics. It speaks of landscape, territory, housing, and philosophy. However, each of its articles shares the same fundamental question: what becomes invisible when we decide what counts and what doesn't in the space we inhabit? Constanza Tommei and Clara Mancini take us to Quebrada de Humahuaca, a World Heritage Site, to show that surrounding the nine towns recognized by UNESCO in 2003, there exists a constellation of more than one hundred human settlements that official maps, censuses, plans, and tourist guides systematically omit. What is made invisible is a choice. The expert mechanisms of the State and heritage organizations produce selective legibility, prioritizing what deserves to exist and condemning to the margins everything that does not fit into their categories. In City Bell, La Plata, the article on landscape integration in urban areas documents how the neoliberal residential expansion of recent decades has produced fragmented peripheries, devoid of public space, disconnected from their natural environment. What is made invisible here are the socio-environmental and aesthetic dimensions of the territory: that which has no price in the land market, but which defines the quality of life of those who inhabit it. From Coquimbo, the article on socio-material trajectories in the Newen Kallfu settlement proposes reading self-construction not as a deficiency or illegality, but as a living, creative, and collective process of habitat production. What is rendered invisible there are the practices, knowledge, and aspirations of those who build their homes with recycled pallets and family ties, while the Law of Usurpations looms with evictions. To make settlements invisible is also to make invisible a form of city that exists, that functions, and that the State prefers not to see. Finally, Angel Daniel Ramírez Herrera, Rodolfo Vera García, and Luis Armando Gálvez Ordaz remind us, from Plato's philosophy, that the landscape is not what the eye effortlessly captures: it is what reason and the soul engender when contemplating a territory. What is rendered invisible in doxa, in superficial and hasty knowledge, is precisely the truth of landscape: its tripartite beauty, its proportion, its intrinsic goodness. Four articles, one single question. In times that reward the visibility of what is profitable and relegate everything else, this magazine reaffirms its conviction: naming what is rendered invisible is also a political act. Issue 48 of Diseño Urbano & Paisaje includes a review of the latest book by Chilean anthropologist Francisca Márquez, "Objetos de memoria" (Objects of Memory), in which, through more than forty short stories, she transforms everyday objects into cracks through which the political seeps: what seems inert, like a wire, a piece of rubble, the Mapocho River renamed Barrocho, sustains collective memories and dismantles the certainties of heritage, authenticity, and origin. In these times of high uncertainty, it is necessary to unravel and make visible what power hides to create new relationships and entanglements. We hope that this issue of the magazine contributes to that direction.

Additionally, this issue includes CEAUP NEWS and PUBLICATION REVIEW sections.
