CORNEJO PORTUGAL, Inés. El centro comercial desde la comunicación y la cultura: Un modelo analítico para su estudio. Convergencia [online]. 2006, vol.13, n.40, pp.13-37. ISSN 2448-5799.

Through the practices of symbolic appropriation approach (window shopping) made by cultural receivers in the Commercial Centre of Santa Fe, Mexico city, we are exploring how "being" in a shopping centre is a way to experience the city. Perhaps the frequent attendance of this space is a way to mark one's territory, to establish a hierarchy, or to claim a part of the city for oneself.

Palabras llave : cultural practices; symbolic appropriation; cultural receivers.
