La constitución en debate

Published February 16, 2024

La constitución en debate. Un texto pensado para profesores, estudiantes y organizaciones sociales (The Constitution under debate. A text conceived for teachers, students and social organizations) is a pedagogical book about the need of a new Chilean constituent process that has to change the current national Constitution, drafted during the civil-military dictatorship. From the back cover (translated from Spanish):

Is our Constitution of any use to us? To answer that and other questions, we necessarily have to know what a Constitution is and how it regulates our coexistence. The purpose of the book is to democratise knowledge about the Constitution, to know why and for what it exists, the institutions that emanate from it, and its application in our daily lives.

Shown here is the first edition, in 2020 publisher LOM Ediciones released a second edition.

The book was designed using two sans serif families, both published by Quintana-Font: Lira Sans, in its Wide and Extended versions for headlines, and Modérnica in several weights and styles for different kinds of text. The cover shows a pictogram composition from Vivaceta type family (along with other pictos especially designed for the book) also published by Quintana-Font and designed by Sergio Ramírez.
