La inmigración, uno de los fenómenos más característicos de nuestro tiempo, cuestiona los procesos de construcción de identidad en relación a la experiencia de pertenencia y vinculación con el espacio, el territorio y los mundos sociales. Este trabajo explora la mirada de un grupo de 14 inmigrantes colombianos sobre la vida en Santiago, indagando cómo ciertas características del espacio dan cuenta de tendencias culturales y formas de habitar particulares. En sus relatos, Santiago es un personaje importante, ilustrando, reflejando y construyendo tensiones sociales. Se discute cómo salir de los localismos e incorporar una mirada construida desde una posición periférica, que puede contribuir a dinamizar la conceptualización de cohesión social, yendo más allá de la ausencia de conflictos.
