This presence is divided between the installations of modernization of the territory at the expense of colonization of the environment and symbolic space, as well as the constructions deployed by inhabitants on the state expansion. In this case, our attention is focused on the former. The succession of public interventions in the more than two hundred years of the nation is symptomatic of the spasmodic ways in which hegemony is installed, maintained, and renewed in the mountain world. The legacy of installations that became traces and the irregular and unfinished geometric framework that remains, materialized in the successive transformations of the regional landscape, contribute to the understanding of the operational effectiveness of meager state formations. Our attention is focused on modernizing processes associated with rail transport, tourism, hydroelectricity generation and irrigation reservoirs, initiatives hegemonized by the presence of the Colbún hydroelectric power plant. All these initiatives have been promoted and sustained by the State and their traces have been metabolized in the current landscape that the State has converted into territory over the last two centuries.  La diversidad de hitos, monolitos, instalaciones e infraestructuras en diversos estados de conservación y uso son parte de las huellas del Estado en los territorios cordilleranos. Esta presencia se divide entre las obras de modernización del territorio a expensas de la colonización del ambiente y del espacio simbólico, y las construcciones desplegadas por los habitantes en la expansión estatal. En este caso, nuestra atención se concentra en las primeras. La sucesión de intervenciones públicas a lo largo del siglo XX es sintomática de los modos espasmódicos en que se instala, se mantiene y se renueva la hegemonía en el mundo cordillerano. El legado de instalaciones convertidas en huellas y el entramado geométrico irregular e inconcluso que permanece, materializado en las sucesivas transformaciones de la cuenca, contribuyen a la comprensión de la eficacia operacional de formaciones estatales exiguas. Nuestra atención se concentra en los procesos modernizadores asociados al transporte ferroviario, el turismo, la generación de hidroelectricidad y los embalses de regadío, iniciativas hegemonizadas por la presencia de la central hidroeléctrica Colbún. Todas estas iniciativas han sido impulsadas y sustentadas por el Estado, y sus huellas se han metabolizado en el paisaje actual, convirtiéndose en territorio a lo largo de los últimos dos siglos. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/RPS/article/view/12662 10.34096/ps.n9.12662 spa Instituto de Geografía "Romualdo Ardissone", UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/RPS/article/view/12662/12087 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/RPS/article/view/12662/12178 Derechos de autor 2023 Juan Carlos Skewes, Gabriel Esteban Espinoza Rivera Punto Sur; No. 9 (2023): El lenguaje polìtico de las cosas; 170-198 Punto Sur; Núm. 9 (2023): El lenguaje polìtico de las cosas; 170-198 2683-7404 infraestructura montaña materialidad volumen estado Infrastructures and collapses of State expansion in the mountainous lands of central Chile: Prelude to an announced sacrifice Infraestructuras y colapsos de la expansión estatal en las tierras de montaña del Chile central: Preludio de un sacrificio anunciado info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=puntosur&d=12662_oai
