BOOTH, Rodrigo. Natural Sublime, Technological Sublime. Debates around the appreciation of Pilmaiquén river’s nature, Chile (1920-1945). ARQ (Santiago) [online]. 2019, n.103, pp.138-149. ISSN 0717-6996.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0717-69962019000300138.

The debate on whether nature is at the service of man or not has been at the forefront in recent decades. Climate change has revalued the importance of that nature that humankind once sought to tame. Through the case of a hydroelectric power station in southern Chile, this text analyzes the ways in which the vision of nature has changed in our country: as a tourist destination, as a source of energy, as raw material and, recently, as a monument.
