Sistemas urbanos emergentes: procesos informales de gestión y producción de espacio público

Esta investigación analiza la capacidad del urbanismo de albergar sistemas emergentes de gestión urbana. El objetivo de esta tesis es describir estos procedimientos informales, realizando un exhaustivo recorrido a través de diversas experiencias de alteración del modo de gestión urbana al uso, para dar lugar a una sistematización de estos procesos que siente las bases para plantear nuevas formas de gestión urbana. Es decir, el fin no es tanto hacer una clasificación de las intervenciones más relevantes en materia urbana, sino descubrir su estructura, un orden para el desorden, una taxonomía en esas actuaciones que permita reformular las formas actuales de gestión de lo público. Se ha tratado de dibujar un mapa de oportunidades posibles en torno a la gestión del espacio urbano. A través de los procesos estudiados, esta investigación analiza los éxitos y fracasos obtenidos en los últimos cinco años de gestión alternativa de espacios vacantes, buscando extraer formulas susceptibles de incorporarse al modo actual de hacer ciudad. Este estudio pretende abordar un aspecto parcial, aunque fundamental del urbanismo, dando prioridad a lo público, sin la intención de negar el resto de formas del espacio urbano. Se concentra en los parámetros relativos a la interpretación de lo público: desatiende al conjunto urbano para descifrar ese fragmento. Así, el interés principal de esta tesis se concentra en la producción del espacio público. Al entender este ámbito como no exclusivo del urbanismo, otras actividades como el arte, la filosofía, la antropología o la sociología han aportado aspectos fundamentales dentro de esta investigación. De esta forma se ofrece un acercamiento poliédrico desde puntos de vista interdisciplinares, tratando de descubrir con rigor las posibilidades contrastadas de mejora del espacio urbano producido por los procesos emergentes de gestión informal de lo público. Mediante un metodología creada ex profeso (una estructura definida por tres líneas estratégicas: Gobernanza, Complejidad y Cohesión Social, que se desglosan en seis conceptos clave cada una) esta investigación analiza los aspectos relativos a la producción informal del espacio público de los sistemas emergentes. En relación con la Gobernanza, una parte de esta tesis se dedica al estudio de la informalidad, la transversalidad, la apropiación, la participación, la transparencia y las redes. La Complejidad se ha estudiado en su relación con la diversidad urbana, el uso sostenible del espacio público, la reactivación, la producción de espacio público, la ecología urbana y los procesos creativos. Para Cohesión Social se ha investigado la innovación en equipamientos, los procesos bottom-up, el rizoma, la identidad, los sistemas líquidos y el empoderamiento. Esta máquina para analizar se prueba en tres soportes urbanos: la escena urbana, los edificios-contenedores y los vacíos urbanos. Se han estudiado cinco situaciones urbanas en la ciudad de Madrid, seleccionados por ser las prácticas urbanas más relevantes de los últimos cinco años. Si bien este análisis nace de estos cincos casos, el modelo podría ser útil para otras investigaciones interesadas en los aspectos informales de la gestión urbana. Esta investigación se propone reclamar otras dimensiones más innovadoras que, si bien se escapan a los modos habituales de trabajar del urbanista, se revelan intensamente en los modos actuales de reclamar y producir espacio urbano. Se ha pretendido descubrir el espacio urbano como contenedor situacional del sentido público, potencial multiplicador de efectos funcionales como la gestión, la temporalidad, la participación, la rehabilitación, la multiplicidad de usos, la corrección del compacidad; efectos perceptuales y estéticos en la escena urbana; efectos políticos, de formación, de adquisición de poder; efectos sociales como la generación de nuevas redes, la creación de identidades. Se pretende que esta investigación arroje conclusiones que puedan tener aplicabilidad en la gestión y planificación del espacio público de ciudades y entornos urbanos inmersos a procesos semejantes. ABSTRACT This research examines the ability of urban planning to accommodate emerging urban management systems. The purpose of this thesis is to describe such informal procedures, by carrying out an exhaustive review across the different approaches to urban management, in order to systematize them as the basis for new ways of urban management. The aim is not, that is, to classify relevant urban interventions, but to recognize the intrinsic structure, an order for disorder, a taxonomy in those proceedings that could help reformulating existing forms of public management. The attempt has been to draw a map of possible opportunities around the management of urban space. Through the processes that have been the object of study, this research analyzes the successes and failures over the last five years of alternative management of vacant spaces, seeking to extract formulas that are likely to join the current way of making city. The focus of this urban study is the interpretation of public concepts, considered as key dimensions, not obliterating the other forms of urban space, but trying to make an in-depth analysis of this fragment within the global urban concept. Other activities intrinsically associated to public space generation, such as art, philosophy, anthropology or even sociology, are also contributing to this research. This interdisciplinary approach tries to enrich the research by recognizing the informal elements participating in emergent public management processes. The ex profeso devised methodology is structured by three main strategies: governance, complexity and Social Cohesiveness. Governance considers elements associated to informality, transversal dynamics, appropriation, participation, transparency and networking. Complexity encompasses elements of urban diversity, sustainable usage of public space, reactivation, urban space production, urban ecology and creative processes. Social Cohesiveness includes elements for equipment innovation, bottom-up processes, rhizome, identity, liquid systems and empowerment. This analyzing machine is tested on three urban scenarios: the urban scene, container buildings and empty spaces. Five relevant urban situations in Madrid have been selected, all of them developed in last five years, thus establishing the basis for other experiences of informal urban management. The result of the research, confirms the relevance of additional dimensions to traditional approaches for urban development. The urban space is recognized as a situational container of public sense and a potential multiplier of functional effects such as public management, temporality, participation, rehabilitation, multiplicity of uses, correction of compactness; perceptual and esthetic effects on the urban scene; politic effects, training, empowerment; social effects as generating new networks and identity creation. To sum up, the purpose of this thesis is to share the conclusions obtained by evaluating reference scenarios that could be applied in similar processes for cities and urban environment management and planning.

CANTAR PARA QUÊ? A música gospel no processo de midiatização: o caso do programa Esquenta!

Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo analisar sob quais aspectos se dá a interação entre mídia e religião, bem como as tensões ou continuidades que a aproximação do ‘sagrado’ com o ‘profano’ na sociedade midiatizada evoca. Para tal, elegemos como objeto de estudo a participação dos artistas evangélicos no Programa Esquenta!, exibido nas tardes de domingo, pela Rede Globo. Tomamos como referencial teórico os conceitos de cultura gospel, de midiatização, especialmente o conceito de bios midiático, e a discussão sobre secularização proposta por Habermas. A metodologia empregada prevê duas etapas. A primeira consiste numa uma análise de conteúdo de cinco edições do programa que contaram com a participação de artistas evangélicos, exibidas nos anos de 2013 e 2014. Nesse momento, o objetivo foi perceber o lugar que a música gospel ocupa dentro da proposta do programa. A segunda etapa consiste na realização de dois grupos de discussão, um formado por evangélicos e o outro por não-evangélicos, para compreender como os conteúdos religiosos deslocados de seu contexto original são ressignificados pela audiência. Resulta desta pesquisa a observação de que a participação dos artistas gospel no Esquenta! oferece novos modos de olhar que ampliam o conceito de cultura gospel, bem como legitima a mídia como lugar de experiência religiosa. Além disso, ilustra a perspectiva habermasiana ao refletir a dupla afetação entre universo religioso e vida secular, que emerge do entrecruzamento entre mídia e religião.

A MULHER ALÉM DO BEM E DO MAL: Malévola e a representação cinematográfica do feminino integrado

Estudo sobre as construções simbólicas e identitárias da mulher presentes na narrativa e na estrutura das personagens femininas do filme Malévola (2014) – produção dos estúdios Disney (EUA). A narrativa é inspirada no conto de fadas “A Bela Adormecida do Bosque” e distingue-se pela perspectiva feminina, modificando as possibilidades de interpretação, além de possibilitar a quebra do paradigma dicotômico relacionado ao Bem e ao Mal. A pesquisa tem por objetivo estudar a evolução das construções imaginárias da mulher no cinema e traçar paralelos entre as características arquetípicas das personagens de Malévola em relação à identidade da mulher na contemporaneidade. Para tal, será tomado como referencial teórico os estudos do imaginário social, com as obras de Gilbert Durand, Edgar Morin e, em especial, Michel Maffesoli; conceitos da psicanálise a partir dos trabalhos de C.G. Jung, Erich Neumann, Marie-Louise Von Franz e Clarissa Pinkola Estés; as teorias de Stuart Hall, Laura Mulvey e Gilles Lipovetsky relacionadas aos estudos culturais com ênfase em gênero; e também o ecofeminismo através dos trabalhos de autoras como Vandana Shiva e Maria Mies. Nosso referencial teórico-metodológico é a Hermenêutica de Profundidade (HP) visando à interpretação da estrutura simbólica de nosso objeto. Resultam desta pesquisa a verificação de um processo de saturação de padrões identitários e simbólicos provindos da modernidade e a evolução de novas dinâmicas nas narrativas presentes nas mídias e na comunicação

La economía callejera en las ciudades contemporáneas. La redes efímeras de venta ambulante como modelo para la reconstrucción de lo urbano

Según Robert Neuwirth alrededor de 1.800 millones de personas trabajan en la economía informal, generando unos 10 billones de dólares anuales. Este autor afirma que si todas las personas vinculadas a dicho modelo económico se reunieran en un único país, éste sería la segunda potencia económica mundial. Junto a la importancia económica del modelo, su flexibilidad al contexto urbano es también destacable. La economía callejera, en particular, está vinculada a la construcción de redes urbanas complejas donde el individuo puede decidir y negociar. Este aspecto es lo que hace de este tipo de apropiación urbana una referencia fundamental para la innovación en la construcción de ciudad y, en especial, para el Urbanismo Táctico. En este artículo se analiza cómo las construcciones urbanas vinculadas a la economía callejera y a la venta ambulante se relacionan con los conceptos que diversos autores han empleado para definir las dinámicas contemporáneas. Primero se aborda la manera en que la venta ambulante teje, relaciona y transforma las redes urbanas existentes (sociales, productivas, económicas y de identidad) y busca su vínculo con los siguientes conceptos: ‘red’, ‘rizoma’, ‘radicante’, ‘punto de paso obligado’ y ‘hacker’. Seguidamente se reflexiona sobre la materialización de la economía informal en las ciudades actuales, relacionando este fenómeno con los siguientes conceptos: ‘el derecho a la ciudad’, ‘lo informal’, ‘TAZ’ y el urbanismo ‘emergente’, entre otros.

Cartografias do invisível : para uma redefinição da serigrafia como meio operativo : a dissimulação da repetição

This dissertation searches for new possibilities into the way of operating with screen printing, as well as its importance in the context of the operational methods of the visual arts, based on a personal project of painting. To this end, we resource to the mapping and the linear drawings of city maps as a way to reflect upon its use in contemporary art. Also, we establish a connection between the way these cities organize themselves and the theories of the rhizome by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari; the cartography and the grids of Rosalind Krauss, with the artistic aim to build screen printing matrixes; and also the function in gesture of making ‘printings’ with the conjectures of Didi-Huberman. We investigate also the consequences of a mode of doing by resourcing to screen printing with respect to the construction of visual metaphors in painting

Mídia à luz do desejo: cartografias dos processos da mídia livre contemporânea brasileira

This paper aims to understand the specifics of the network communication and the logic of articulation of social insurgencies in contemporary inferred from the rizome concept coined by Felix Guattari and Gilles Deleuze and the multitude as preach Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri. To do so, it raises the processes and practices of political bodies, reaching lines and common strategies of operation. Unless the specifics, it is possible to draw a continuous and rizomatic communication that traverses both bodies enrolled in institutionalized democracy, as the spanish movement-party Podemos and the greek coalition Syriza, as the autonomous collectives, such as the Movimento Passe Livre, fighting for universal public, free and quality transport, and the free media initiatives Media Ninja and Catarina Santos, willing to understand the social movements. The constitutional amendment of this model of communication networking seems to be the desire to radicalization of democracy, the bias of Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe, as a strategic and common struggle. Indeed, speaking specifically of free media, they are built from here processes that take place in understanding the agency of the bodies as relevant to political action toward the radical democracy project, and the use of free softwares, the communicator-protester agency, the performance, the collective experience.

Corpo, força e potência: Nietzsche e Spinoza no pensamento de Deleuze

This dissertation aims at showing the importance of the Nietzsche s and Spinoza s philosophy in Deleuze thought, about body, force, and potency concepts. The search starts from Deleuze texts around two authors of his inspiration, reaching understand in the plan of immanence of the relationship between concepts and the way life as ethics and political affirmation. The first goal is the concept of rhizome; propose by Deleuze in what manner to walk the ways traced by philosophers and at the same time to create self ways. The second chapter examines the body in Nietzsche as force s relations. Find to show the genesis of the force in its determination as relative quantity strong or weak, and as absolute quality active or reactive; and for other side the genesis of the force from two poles of the will to power affirmation or negation, examining the consequences for life and thought. In the third chapter explained the definitions of body in Spinoza. The body, in Spinoza, defines itself complex relation of movement and repose, velocity and slowness and by it s to affect and be affecter s power. Find to show understanding the mediums for to amplify the power of to exist or the potency of to act, in what manner ethics of to live. The fourth chapter makes one parallel between the war and the thought in the constitution of socials body and collectives agenciamientos, for understand in the fifth chapter the body as war s machine of the thought, from the relationship between nomad way life and war s machine showed in Tractate of Nomadologia. Wait like this to show the importance of the ethics and political thought than affirm the existence in the world through active force from that body s power.

Crenças e quebranças de um corpo que dança: poéticas do benzimento na criação cênica

This work is a discussion of the artistic process of an artist-researcher made from field research with benzedeiras and benzedores the state of Rio Grande do Norte. This is an investigation on the cultural universe of the popular benzeção as poetic element to the artistic dance. To discuss the different stages of the research and the relationships between the artist-researcher, the benzedeiras/benzedores and the creation/composition scenic, the work takes as reference the triangular relationship created by anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss, in his discussion on the effectiveness of symbols of healing, adapted to the context of benzeção . For dialogue between tradition, popular knowledge, scientific and artistic knowledge this work approaches as analytical reference the epistemological model of the type rhizome proposed by Deleuze and Guattari, understanding it as a model that seeks to form a network of relations in different paths of research, to establish connections between elements without target them or subordinating them. In the universe of benzeção , benzedeiras and benzedores carry a symbolic power that issued in whispered prayers, in peculiar gestures that form crosses in space, heal those who seek your prayers and blessing. In this research, the mixture of popular knowledge, artistic and academic knowledge, born an artistic work in the context of Performing Arts, more specifically dance, and between branches, saints, candles and conversations the work allowed other looks poetic for our popular culture, (re)asserting their cultural and human values through the art
