Valparaiso Joya Abandoned - Reportage Canal 13

When I started writing about Valparaiso, my first intention was to reveal the identity of the city through the stories of my constant travels for her. A look, a point of view, the skin feeling written to account for the interlining of the mazes subtext locals.

However, the subtext I began to show another topic. Something that is spoken almost in a whisper and a growing question.

Leo Silva, what about the heritage??

What about projects??

It is difficult to ignore the issue. But runs the risk of lines and lines dedicated to this issue. I do not want to end up writing a mantra, a rosary of articles on this point. However, the theme Heritage of Valparaiso and its care is so disturbing, it should become "the most important issue of the city` s agenda, but a table at lunch, at family level. Everyone should take a position on this.

To spend no more keys on the computer for now, and illustrate widely about it, I leave here the story of Channel Thirteen, displayed a few weekends ago.

Sit down, sit back, put play and if at the end of the story you unworthy, I know that is within their rights.

Several lines of reporting are shocking:

"... inspection visit in May of 2010, represent the Inter-American Development Bank found that 53% of the designs in current portfolio at that date will not lead to concrete results. In good Chilean, many studies and few works ... "

With regard to the elevators:" ... the mayor of Valparaiso ahead of us that the situation could worsen further in the coming days. Soon Artillery would be closed the elevator and the elevator Conception ... "(sic)

With regard to World Heritage:" ... Unesco, which will come next year to assess compliance with the Commitments of asset recovery program in Valparaiso, however may not be sufficient ... "(sic)," ... it is quite likely that UNESCO requires certain measures or else, simply put Valparaiso list of properties in danger of disappearing ... "(sic)

Personally, first thing I'm getting embarrassed when I do my tour in the city. My passengers are excited to see the elevators of Valparaiso and to experience a trip on them. Now, I must explain that most of them are closed. One after another they appear without any activity. My passengers take

clear accounts.

.- That is, in the city of lifts, there is not working??

.- But how can this be? There is a tourist and heritage??

.- What should I say about me? It is difficult to assume the irresponsibility and lack of management.

Even some of the tourists are beginning to ask the mails of the authorities to complain.

As always, the gringo Todd Temkin, tireless fighter for Valparaiso, is right when he says in the article that would repair the lifts global impact and improve the country's image.

But why close some of them having good flow of passengers and would therefore not economic, argument always put forward to justify their door locks??

seems that we are facing a battle of pressure. The buzz through the streets of the city would be Mechanical Lift Company of Valparaiso wants to sell almost all lifts that manages the City of Valparaiso. For this sale, has a very high price.

The municipality wants to buy, but can not purchase the prescribed value. (Actually, you can not buy anything, no money)

As a means of pressure, the Society of Mechanical Lifts lift it closes the municipality (and Valparaiso) gradually.

This version as well said, is the rumor began that begins to circulate in the city.

But pressures and tripping, not only commercial but political in the city, is a party. The problem is that whoever is in the middle of this is, precisely, Valparaíso, its heritage and its people.

Please read the following article Gonzalo Rojas appeared in the Mercury of Santiago, entitled: Valparaiso, victim of two evils. (Click here ...>>)

By reading this article is painfully clear that Valparaiso sailing the waters of political games. As usual, no one thinks of the city and less in the country.

The Universal Forum of Cultures, is an activity that would like to have it and other cities. When held in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bthe city spent millions to promote it. Valparaiso has been abandoned to the poor management that made the bodies in charge. The information the public has been very poor, apart from the presentations performed in Plaza Sotomayor, nobody has any idea that there are exhibitions and lectures. The main objective of the Forum of Cultures is to raise awareness about the importance of public spaces for cultural use of it, social cohesion and quality of life for city dwellers. However, paradoxically, there has been a promotion open to the public.

was a unique opportunity not only to Valparaiso, Chile but also because as a country seeking to join the global community, the development of their culture and heritage strengthens their identity and integration into the global village with a own distinctive stamp.

Apparently there is great ignorance on the part of our authorities on these topics: Identity, Culture, Heritage, efficient management, globalization. Chile insists on wanting to appear as a global nation celebrating Halloween, but what really matters to belong to this totality, look to their own culture through the protection of heritage and promotion of their identity, there is a clear political vision to regard. It is the only way that means the failure to follow suit. Ignorance!

Given all this and existing development plans ongoing promotional , calls to these issues in everyday conversation ourselves, the locals.

We must go beyond our enthusiasm to sing with emotion, "The Jewel of the Pacific." Should we require that heritage projects are carried out to address the money well, that looks to Valparaiso as it really is: a city that boasts the title having beautiful cities recognized as the most beautiful in the world: Florence , Cairo, Venice, Cuzco, Quito, Prague. That Valparaiso hoists are an event like going to know Tower of Pisa, the Eiffel , Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro , Machu Picchu . We need to convince other locals to demand that efforts be made efficient, to punish by voting when we have to choose officials and above all ...

... to tell you right Valparaiso Chile that should not be a solo project of Valparaiso, but must be a national project of all Chileans.

rampage carnivalesque (The education that we need)

My mother looks dreamy fishing distance and a memory:

The spring festival ... It was so beautiful. People played the challa squares and threw them all to everyone. Especially if you liked someone, to prove you came and you were throwing a bit of Challa.

Suddenly his eyes clouded:

Then people started throwing water bombs and not just water. No longer was the confetti and put heavy jokes. Thus began the rampage and destruction of places. One day the Spring Festival was suspended for good, apparently the last one was out there in the 60's. Volume

El Mercurio of Valparaiso on Sunday and my view is also clouded by the news of the riots after the Carnival of the Thousand Drums. Will these parties are bound to follow the same fate? It takes me quite

trying to understand why people do not care for their parties, do not take care of the space won with much effort, does not value these events and instead to participate, just think about getting drunk and destroying. Curious

this behavior. Sample gives an intellectual vacuum, emotional and even spiritual, and I stop to think what we will have led to this state of stupidity that ends up destroying the good intentions of cultural managers who strive to raise their initiatives, so that the ended up being involved in acts completely reprehensible??

Various factors have to converge in the disaster lived in the latest Carnival of the Thousand Drums. But I have one thing quite clear. The organization of this party has done everything possible to get away from the chaos that has become a constant in the recent activities of this type made in the city.

The factor "mass audience"

no doubt that when planning these public activities should be aware that there will be a large turnout and that, given the nature of the party, his enthusiasm may overflow . The mass public has become and act and do what makes mass. If the mass dance, dance. If the dough drink, drink, and if the mass destroy, destroy. What do one and validate what has been done for others.

No more psychology to analyze the mass. You can be anyone that in the middle and part of this large group, lose their identity, they feel liberated, empowered and validated. Very similar to what would be a stampede of wild animals. So hard and simple.

Therefore, we must take great care in how it handles this massive effect. Think before in what are the stimuli that could trigger his reaction that, in general, could be irrational.

Read the following comment left on YouTube in a video of the abuses that occurred after the last carnival in the city:

"... Wn, You should record when the cops came to cumming by hitting everyone just to be Carretie there, why the riots started. It is assumed that the wea was a carnival, it is understood that the people put to suck on the street, that is no reason to curb the brutality of which he showed police, and only got to leave the cream in the center. Prosedimietno Pesimo police, but for police, there would be riots ... " (sic)

One of the ways to combat this effect is mass education. If individuals are promoted to a high rate of particular identity and self-awareness, with a great sense of freedom and self-respect based on the maxim "my freedom ends where yours begins," these individuals themselves act as catalysts for what should and should not be done. Construed as freedom is not permission to do what they please, but as a place where the exercise responsibly.

factor "alcohol"

Apparently, one effect that causes a mass release of inhibitions, as being in the middle one is covered, the anonymity is part and cover it.

If this simple fact adds another disinhibiting like alcohol, it will highlight this fact, and a group who shows signs of not knowing how to manage in areas of freedom may be just devastating.

For this reason, it is known that there will be a large number of people to a place, it is absolutely necessary to operate measures to prevent undesirable outcomes.

Press and not reacting is the golden rule. If activated, it searches for ways to continue providing incentives not to make the dough becomes uncontrollable.

Ban the sale of alcohol before and during activity. Close outlets, this monitor is carried out effectively. Monitor the sale of illegal alcohol and neutralize it.

All who have been in the midst of these massive public celebrations in Valparaiso, we know that beer is sold clandestinely in the crowd. The liquor store and are still open full of people buying alcohol. There is no control if they buy are more or less of age and for that matter, it does not matter because the mass has no age.

The factor "police"

This is tricky because the actions of police moves between the points, off by an appearance, reaction, if you break the law and repression if performed acts conflict with public order.

If the dough begins to spin out, the police have to intervene. It's your job. Well usually. If you see people drinking in public, what is prohibited, it shall, if the group is large, will speak with all his strength so repressive.

The problem is that it enhances the effect. Rather than deter by force, will cause a mass explosion to be seen in numerical superiority and, with the anonymity it provides mass against attack and unable to hit its target, massive vented his frustration with what you have in its path.

operating and is best not to react. One need not be an expert in intelligence and logistics FBI to know that in these street activities, the mass meeting in two points of the city and White Bellavista Plaza Aníbal Pinto, in Cumming with Almirante Montt. It would be good before actually strengthen the police presence at these points.

Cultural and Valparaiso Valparaiso

need activities that provide a "do" in the city. Not only from October onwards, but all year round. Every city that is becoming tourist uses this fact to promote activities, for mean age to come to the city, which will stay in the city, eat in the city, which will spend it. It's a simple fact of business purpose. Valparaiso needs money, among other things to take care of their heritage. If you do not know, it's good to find out, Valparaiso has a municipality in a constant state of financial collapse. That is why it so difficult care tasks such as face lifts. No matter the political color of the mayor. Whoever assumes the presidency will face the simple fact that can not afford to perform the many tasks that will come ahead. More

. These activities are needed to enhance the concept of "Cultural City"

If you look closely, you realize that in the city have imposed two powerful concepts: "Heritage City" and "City Cultural Capital ". To me, this is practically a gift. Any city in the world would dream to have two appointments.
Both are strong concepts
level of city marketing. But do not subsist on their own. We must empower them, show them, work them constantly and use them as a platform to create more and more events throughout the year and surpass the seasonal high and projected to the low season. This is not a beach tourism. Do not need the sun to come to Valparaiso.

Then, having cultural managers who create massive activity in the city and that have been conducted successfully for a long time, is practically another gift.

There is no jazz festival in the city. The man who had had great production problems, bad publicity, poor grill and simply disappeared.

The film festival is almost cryptic. Being a "Cinema Heritage" is not only understood massive attendance.

when performing these activities, I see no banners adorning the avenues of the city, I see a flight aggressive and risky advertising creative. When I tell people about Viña del Mar "Valparaiso Cerro Abajo" or "Carnaval Mil Tambores" definitely have no idea what they speak, and express their intention that they would love to come. Viña del Mar If you have little idea of \u200b\u200bwhat happens in the neighboring city, in places like Santiago, San Pedro de Atacama, Patagonia, just do not know anything and those are precisely the places where our market is coming.

For this reason it is so important to have cultural managers. We must care for and work with them to prove their events. We must go beyond a feasibility study must be involved.

A cultural manager creates an event. What made and makes sure that everything turns out well as it develops. If abuses occur much later, you can not blame them. That something else is failing.

In my view, the latest version of Carnaval Mil Tambores was completely successful. The organizers decided to move the center of the city to the hills just to get away from the possibility that abuses occur during implementation. Moreover, they created a slogan stating this intention. "I live a thousand drums, I care Valparaiso . The event took off on time and ended at about eleven o'clock at night, without having any problem during implementation. The city center was not affected in its normal flow. The people of the hills felt that the carnival was approaching them. A smash hit!!

The incidents occurred over four hours after the event. Can we really blame them or hold them accountable for these acts??

Moreover, the organization decided to cut part of its activities to support the intention that the excesses do not continue. What I see there is consciousness, intention and action.

For that reason, my eyes clouding does not end when I read the news of a local newspaper that says the locals call for an end to mass events. The city authorities say they are very strict when giving a new authorization and that there is a risk that next year is not authorized this activity.

propose an end to these activities does not seem to solve the problem of substance. It's just a simple dodge. Is not engaging and not be proactive and it made the job easy. There is much to do in the city and we must go trying to solve problems and not just flee the situation.

For Mil Carnival Drums, this version was the eleventh. It is not the first time you do and do not understand that having previous experience plus the Cultural Carnival have also been incidents where these seem to surprise to the authorities, as if for the first time that happened.

not be scared, you have to invent alternatives, such as black and white print on cheap paper and information alluding to protect these activities and inviting public not to consume alcohol on the streets remembering that law is prohibited and what the penalties are set out to do and what others are exposed to make public disorder and vandalism. This information should be delivered by instructors who invite and take care not to drink the city.

We, all of us, a big job ahead to care for and protect these few activities. Valparaiso and care for and protect the fate of remove "dangerous city" . We must be proactive and purpose and above all try to understand the phenomena and how they are enabled to discern effective solutions. We must also take care of our cultural managers. Not be blamed for vandalism that occurred hours after the event ended, not threaten closed spaces, appreciate your good will, while doing everything possible to promote a culture of participation and non-destructive.

Care for the few activities that we have not removed the Carnival. Instead, learn from the experiences, we believe even more events, more concerts, more festivals and publicitémoslos and let us use them to promote the city. Educate and culturicemos

people through campaigns during the year so that when they are processed mass is a benign and participatory and not drunk and destructive as it is now. Leo Silva

Valparaiso thumbed

To begin, an anecdote: walking

Cerro Concepción for a year ago with my 15 years. In a moment a tour guide with his group in front of the Lutheran Church . The guide tells passengers the church and says you are currently facing the Anglican Church .

My Daughter: What the hell. Dad! That is not the Anglican church. Come on, say something, correct it, is wrong.

Obviously I did not. My professional ethics prevent me from intervening in the work of a respected colleague, even if in error. Also, the data does not remain in the memories of past passenger seat aircraft.

Now things change when it institutionalizes information and look bad light and even more, it appears in a program of national television.

Consider the following video.

some time that Valparaiso is fashionable. Films and documentaries are made in the city, but some of them are done without a preliminary investigation. This phenomenon is attacking the inhabitants of Valparaiso. This newly discovered city look, in many cases the capital city, is offensive because Valparaiso is in the same place since 1536 and the locals know every detail of the city.

I have no idea if this program "City Tour" dedicated to Valparaiso, has been aired or when it was his presentation. It is likely that months ago. However, not too late to launch this review and present some points which I think should not happen again.

is striking, for example, that this section of the program, posted to my blog, the characters, the scholar and architect Federico Sanchez and animator Marcelo Comparini journalist, you see an information kiosk and local tour and talk to them have copied them and that their program is a benchmark. He then discusses the place from Plaza Aníbal Pinto at a party a breach of information regarding the artist Lukas House which located in the Paseo Yugoslav being found in the hotel Gervasoni and Syndicated Brighton recovery of an old house, when in fact a new house built following the Victorian sector parameters.

The kiosk belongs to Franco said property Jaime Tours Lanfranco. I know and respect. I've been working a long time in the company and its concept and making their tours with passion and commitment.

not just him. There are several small companies that are seriously dedicated to gather information and prepare them critically to deliver this. Companies like Link Tourism and the dean of all of us working Tours Bohemia in the city since the time Comparini Marcelo made his television debut in Youth Extra program.

It seems odd that a television program takes the contents on a tour of Valparaiso without any preliminary investigation. More even if one of the animators is an architect by training, must favor the previous investigation. It is understood that the concept of the program is light and entertaining, where the actors have a greater focus on performance rather than shown. That the information given should not be academic but bearable and almost humorous however, this affects me lightness of content.

phenomenon that exists in the city where many are coming and some guiding without having much idea where it favors a lighter look at speaking without a backup, often violating the locals who know their city and details that have formed.

In Valparaiso there are many characters that could have led to an entertaining and humorous and at the same time, providing the right details, look accurate and the data accordingly.

Samuel Leon, Ingrid Marín, the same Jaime Lanfranco, all locals, all of Valparaiso, knowledgeable, informed, prepared, for those Valparaiso is not just a collection of anecdotes of funny things, but that identity is a wonder to behold and studied to share this information and stare at the right time.

This is not a minor detail. For the locals can not we change the coordinates. We know our city. A remarkable moment in this program is when the hyperventilated architect Plaza Sotomayor said about the dialogue of architectural styles in the industry, but has no idea if Arturo Prat is buried at the monument to the heroes of Iquique and speaks of a ship buried under the monument . At that time Buenos Aires talk to a passerby who explains in a short and precise how far the sea front and provides a degree of truthful information.

is very easy to come to hyperventilate at Valparaiso, in fact we ourselves often goes walking every day for our city, but our passion has led to the investigation. We have taken seriously the fact of living in Valparaiso.

time ago I remember a cartoon series about a superhero Chile Buenos Aires "Cat." Also at the capital's serial appeared this look where it drew a Valparaiso, where the sea appeared behind the church when originally Matrix is \u200b\u200bin front of the church and We drew houses and alleys for us locals, it just was not Valparaíso. Also at that time was not investigated, not consulted, did not seek a cartoonist of the city as Juan Carlos Cabezas "JUCC" , which is really able to design spaces Buenos Aires with his eyes closed. These programs are made with good intention, but we are not considered and we are not taken seriously.

From these videos uploaded to the blog can be accessed with a click on them to Youtube channel where you can appreciate the saga of this program concerning Valparaiso. In all cases the uncertainties are huge, look at all the light goes on to give realize this vision almost folk people have of us. So much so that even the sensitive issue of lifts is taken without any prior information. ( See chapter Avenue Argentina and trolleybuses). Also I noticed they all work to clarify the information leaving relevant comments to try to just fill in something this lack of journalistic rigor.

What remains clear is precisely this vision of the capital. Is evident as we see and therefore why not take us seriously. We have become a curiosity, an event for the zoo, where everyone will see through monkey inadvertently know what they are observing the specimen.

Chilean TV boasts little content and all Chileans sleep in the Soma of the nonsense on television. Greet their players in the street, are entertaining, are congratulated for their thanks, not realizing that they are not taken seriously and that they bumble their referents without any delicacy of previous research and serious.

In my opinion they can do whatever they please with their programs, however, when it comes to Valparaiso, I would demand more respect. With its history as a city unique in the world for its identity and above all, its people.

I leave to end, a beautiful video of Pascuala Ilabaca. This is Valparaiso
