Santiago school

From these simple, basic observations, Maturana and Varela (often referred to as the Santiago school) arrived at a characterization of living systems based on the autopoietic unit. An autopoietic unit is a system that is capable of sustaining itself due to an inner network of reactions that regenerate the system s components (Varela etal., 1974 Maturana and Varela, 1980 Luisi, 1997 Maturana and Varela, 1998 Varela, 2000 Luisa et al, 1996). 

We go back now to basic autopoiesis, in order to consider what came as an interesting, and unexpected, development of this theory. By unexpected, I mean that even the authors of the Santiago school had not foreseen it. This is social autopoiesis. The main feature of autopoiesis is self-maintenance due to a process of self-generation from within. Although this concept came from the analysis of a living cell, it can be metaphorically applied to social systems. 

During the war of independence, the once prosperous mining industry of Mexico passed through such a serious depression that all courses at the School of Mines were suspended, with humane provision, however, for those of its employees who had no other source of income. Don Fausto de EIhuyar relinquished his authority, and thus, after thirty-three years of service, his directorship came to a close on October 22, 1821. The history of the School of Mines (13) by the distinguished mining engineer, Santiago Ramirez, contains a wealth of information about Elhuyar s services to Mexico.
