The socio-cultural descriptions of gentrification in Santiago have concentrated in the “new resident”, his/her lifestyles, and the associated cultural and commercial supply, but without approaching some explanatory variable. This article seeks to tackle the socio-cultural transformations of these neighborhoods, not only describing the symptoms of the observed symbolic struggles (cultural practices and consumption), but delving into its structuring factors. From a survey in four peri-central neighborhoods, a Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) and an analysis of open responses, important differentiations in cultural preferences and tastes were observed, marked by variables like age and socioeconomic level, which emphasizes the role of cultural factors in the “displacement pressure”, within a process of gentrification.

Las descripciones socioculturales de la gentrificación en Santiago se han concentrado en el «nuevo habitante», sus estilos de vida y la oferta cultural y comercial asociada, pero sin acercarse a alguna variable explicativa. Este artículo pretende abordar las transformaciones socioculturales de estos barrios, no solo describiendo los síntomas de las luchas simbólicas observadas (prácticas y consumo cultural), sino profundizando sobre sus factores estructurantes. A partir de una encuesta en cuatro barrios pericentrales, un Análisis de Correspondencias Múltiples (ACM) y un análisis de respuestas abiertas, se observaron importantes diferenciaciones en preferencias y gustos culturales, marcadas por variables como la edad y el nivel socioeconómico, lo cual enfatiza el rol de factores culturales en la «presión de desplazamiento», dentro de un proceso de gentrificación.
