Abstract
This article explores the space that a justice narrative has within the earthquake engineering community (EEC) in Chile. Following a set of semi-structured interviews, we discuss the understanding that the EEC has of seismic risk governance and its relationship with disaster risk management. As such, it partly provides a selfreflection of the EEC about its historical development, current challenges, and future directions. Preliminary results show that the narrative of resilience appears as the current challenge to rethinking earthquake engineering practice, pushing for a paradigmatic shift from lifesaving to damage prevention. Topics beyond the traditional scope of engineering practice such as the political dimension of technical decisions and the concept of seismic justice are understood as relevant and valuable, yet its practical application remains unclear and therefore distant.
