La historia ambiental es entendida aqui como una invitacion a observar en la naturaleza indicios de las transformaciones sociotecnicas del Chile contemporaneo. Se revisan los principales hallazgos de la produccion historiografica y cientifico-social actual sobre la gestion de los diversos tipos de agua en Chile. Entendida esta en su condicion de material, politica y biopolitica, se da cuenta de como ha transitado por tres estatalidades orquestadas paralelamente por distintos organos del Estado chileno: un movimiento constante de zigzag entre la conservacion, la desregulacion y la tecnificacion. Se defiende la propuesta de que, en el entrecruce entre medioambiente y politica, esta la clave para interrogar, de manera historica, a la gestion hidrica como decidora de una serie de problemas directamente vinculados a la construccion del Chile contemporaneo y no como relegada a otros problemas clasicos, comola Reforma Agraria, para la segunda mitad del siglo XX, o los agronegocios, para fines del siglo XX, sin desconocer por ello el rol que estos procesos han tenido en la gestion hidrica del pais. The Role of State Policy in the Construction of Subjects Associated with Water Management in Contemporary Chile AbstractEnvironmental history is understood here as an invitation to observe in nature indications of the sociotechnical transformations of contemporary Chile. This article looks at the main findings of current historiographic and scientific-social production on the management of different types of water in Chile. Understanding water as a political and biopolitical material, this paper looks at how it has been subject to three state policies orchestrated in parallel by different bodies of the Chilean Government: a constant zigzag movement between conservation, deregulation and technification. It defends the proposal that at the intersection of the environment and politics is the key to a historical inquiry into water management as a deciding factor for a number of problems directly related to the construction of contemporary Chile, and not relegated to other classical problems like the Agrarian Reform of the second half of the 20th century or agribusiness at the end of the 20th century, without fully disregarding the role that these processes have played in the country’s water management.Keywords: Water management, statehoods, neo-liberalization, contemporaryChile.
