Bogotá is a city that has seen rapid change in the recent years. By the 1990’s the city’s public space was in crisis and its elements were being used in inappropriate ways; some were even been illegally privatized. Inside the city’s multiple ills, a politically driven set of changes began to happen. By the turn of the millennium an urban renaissance of the city originated. Multiple public spaces, libraries, schools, and new transportation systems were built and implemented by different city Mayors. At present, after the initial thrill and polemics developed during the construction of the new public spaces, some of the major changes have settled. This situation makes it a good moment to develop an analysis of the performance of these public spaces today, in order to understand how they have evolved along with Bogotano’s during these years. The Plaza de San Victorino located in the downtown area of the city was one of the major renovation projects that the city underwent around the year 2000. Its analysis is representative of the evolution of Bogota’s public spaces during these years. This MDS makes an assessment from the point of view of the users of the Plaza de San Victorino. By making a Post-occupancy evaluation of this recently constructed public space using participant observations, mappings and surveys, this MDS generates a set of design recommendations for the Plaza and a design proposal for its improvement. / text

Assim, buscamos rastrear os procedimentos através dos quais o pueblo-nación chileno é transformado no principal sujeito de suas narrativas históricas, a partir de quais dispositivos conceptuais ele procurou tornar a nação chilena uma entidade tangível, conformando, assim, um discurso sobre sua nacionalidade.

La presente tesis nace con el propósito de aportar a las recientes discusiones que se han efectuado respecto al pensamiento latinoamericano, específicamente, a la existencia o no existencia de lo que se podría denominar como filosofía latinoamericana y en particular, filosofía chilena. Generalmente, la discusión se desarrolla desde la pregunta ¿hay filosofía en Chile o filosofía chilena? Para poder contestar tal interrogante, es necesario recapitular el desarrollo teórico desde los inicios de la República chilena. Por ello, pareció importante abordar a dos pensadores que sostuvieron los primeros debates teóricos, en los cuales se jugó la validez de algunas ideas filosóficas. En ese contexto, la llamada disputa historiográfica entre Andrés Bello y José Victorino Lastarria expresa de forma genuina los primeros aires de una intelectualidad propiamente latinoamericana a pesar de efectuarse en base a ideas europeas o a una reproducción de ellas, pero que no deja de expresar una forma específica de articular un pensamiento con colores propios.
