significant changes that cause trauma, spaces in crisis that happen when an individual by the

caused by new programmatics and territorial limits. In the research stage a set of
questions is developed for the construction of theoretical background that gives a first und

at incorporates the different contingencies of space in crisis, narratives in their different manifestations overcome the event itself giving evidence of the relationship of people with this new space.
Situating the analysis in a real study field, where the trauma of the past earthquake still
remains, San Pedro de la Paz in Concepción is visited during September of 2010 for the collecting of interviews, a data collection resource that allows to obtain information from first
hand of a situated fact, singular information, territory bound, the info obtained by the
interviews is testimony that in the conjunction between event and individual, space appears,
the info is later put under a series of methodological procedures of coding and graphic
representation, and the findings presented in the final discussion.
