Abstract

I present a compilation continent of a series of representative moments of the becoming part-time teacher of Chilean university education in the areas of design, art and architecture. It is the result of the exercise of remembering and reconstructing a workday with the attempt to generate a spontaneous state of affairs (statistically not representative) of the relationships, meanings and displacements that we generate in the search for a dwelling that can resist the prevailing homelessness and the absence of sufficient route signs for the configuration of an architecture of meanings that enables the different processes of transformation, which still function as an ancient aspiration, in these areas and latitudes. It is an attempt to weave a patchwork of moments devoid of any aesthetic and historical intention, but protected by a constant operation of autobiographical convocation and escape (continuous process of creating the present). It is a commitment to collide some experiential nuclei with the purpose of discovering the hidden abyss between the gaps in academic knowledge, the cultural and productive needs of our region, and the expectations and hopes of young people and their homes. This work does not intend to be representative of the status of these areas of knowledge in Chile, but I believe that it does show the existence of a territory full of dislocations and implausibilities that could be conformed into hope. From a certain marginal perspective, it is an attempt to generate a spoken portrait of concealment, distinguishable from job insecurity, education as merchandise, or the discourses made possible by elite perspectives.
