| Summary: | The so-called lifestyle migration represents a socio-cultural and spatial phenomenon that has become particularly important in mountain and large-lake areas of the Chilean Northern Patagonia. To examine the consequences and repercussions that this type of mobility had in the places of destination, we have used semi-structured interviews of the incoming migrant population. The analysis of the data collected enabled us to show that the initiatives, undertakings and practices deployed by the migrants exhibit important degrees of creativity that are associated with the re-signification of places. These elements suggest that the new residents acquire a role that we have denominated agents of transformation. |
