    ‘Maraña’ as a Dysphoric Notion for Staying with the Trouble of the Revolt and its Memories
    (HUMANA PRESS INC, 2025) Fernandez, Roberto; Hermansen Ulibarri, Pablo Ignacio
    This article aims to present the notion of maraña (tangle), a concept useful for addressing the complexities inherent in a world in crisis, where practices, relationships, meanings, and materialities have become so intertwined that traditional design approaches and related disciplines fall short in adequately understanding social phenomena. Through an analysis of the Mauricio Fredes Memorial―raised to preserve the remembrance of a protester who died as a result of the repression during Chile’s 2019 social outburst―we propose an entangled reading of the site, identifying its components, aesthetics, practices, and relationships with its surroundings. The main findings highlight how this Memorial aligns with remembrance practices associated with human rights violations in recent history, and how, through an insurgent co-design logic, the site integrates material and symbolic elements of the revolt into public space.

    Performativity and Digitally Enhanced Dispute in the Public Space of Santiago de Chile: Photoetnography and analysis of the Gay Pride March
    (PALGRAVE, 2016) Hermansen, Pablo; Fernandez, Roberto
    Although in our daily lives we constantly produce and publish images as language, means of interaction and device of visualization, and that in the social sciences the visual data have an undeniable value of use - with almost two centuries of presence in the work of Field - in the networks of publication and exchange of knowledge has not been assigned a value of change according to its use. The text maintains a practical monopoly in the categorization and analysis of data, a currency of exchange required to participate in the academic debate. However, in investigating and describing commemorative marches in public space, such as the Gay Pride March in Santiago, it is impossible to account verbatim for the complex connotations of its performativity. With the aim of releasing its constitutive characteristics, we developed a photoetnographic analysis to approach a predominantly performance event, such as the Gay Pride March. These events call for research and publication procedures that demonstrate their visual richness as a mode of political expression.
