    Georg Simmel y la moda. Hacia una comprensión de la sociedad de consumo en la ciudad
    (Ediciones Universidad Alberto Hurtado, 2012) Simone Polania, Rosa Liliana de; Márquez Belloni, Francisca
    El siguiente texto analiza los escritos en torno a la moda de Georg Simmel, sociólogo y filósofo alemán de principios del siglo XX. La moda, analizada como un fragmento del fenómeno social, es revestida por Simmel por significancias estructurales que le permiten interpretarla como una clave de lectura de la sociedad y el individuo enfrentado a la metrópolis, locus de la naciente sociedad de consumo de la Europa de principios de siglo XX. De ese modo, Simmel inaugura un análisis que se prolongará en Walter Benjamin, quien lleva las reflexiones simmelianas a las galerías parisinas, germen de nuestros los actuales centros comerciales.

    Perceptions, Tensions, and Contradictions in Timber Construction: Insights from End-Users in a Chilean Forest City
    (2024) Encinas, Felipe; Truffello, Ricardo; Ubilla, Mario; Aguirre-Nunez, Carlos; Schueftan, Alejandra; CEDEUS (Chile)
    The study addresses the underutilisation of wood in construction in Chile, particularly given the country's robust forestry sector. The research investigates perceptions, tensions, and contradictions among end-users regarding timber construction in Valdivia, a city with a mixed forestry industry. Methods included a comprehensive survey of 96 households across various socioeconomic clusters, utilising descriptive and exploratory statistical analyses. Key findings reveal persistent negative perceptions about wood's durability, fire resistance, and maintenance costs. However, positive aspects, such as lower construction costs and adequate thermal comfort, were also noted. Surprisingly, concerns were raised about wood's environmental impact, including deforestation and its role in combating climate change, contrasting with the material's known ecological benefits. The study concludes that these perceptions are deeply influenced by ideological and sociopolitical factors, suggesting that mere marketing strategies may not suffice to alter public opinion. Instead, a collaborative effort involving public policy, industry advancements, and transparent scientific communication is essential to promote the benefits of timber construction and address the entrenched biases.
