Daily Practice against Mobility Devices. Policy Approach to Daily Mobility of the Urban Poor in Santiago, Chile

In spite of the reforms in the transport system of Santiago de Chile, it appears that the needs of social & spatially marginalized inhabitants are not being met adequately. These poor city dwellers use their options for maneuver to offset this inadequacy in their daily mobility. Their daily mobility practices & their ways of using, subverting or resisting the transport system are critically discussed in terms of the apparatus that shape the system. Three types of practices as power relations are identified -- liberation, liberty & libration -- & used to characterize forms of daily mobility in a poor district on the southern periphery of Santiago de Chile.
