build around discursive practices as associated materials with the social break-through and simbolic of an homoerotic culture in Santiago from the 1930’s.
Through of studying the sensationalist press and the corpus of psychoanalysis
-fundamental practices of the mass culture- and also the narratives of privacy that articulate a biographic memoir deployed by two principal character of intellectual field: Hernán Díaz Arrieta and Luis Oyarzún, we analyze the main textual and subjective strategies unfold by citizens that carry an “other desire” in the seek of an internal dialog based on the appropriation inappropriate of sexually normalized urban spaces.
