Devaneios citadinos: notas sobre o mal estar no espaço urbano.

Abstract

This essay addresses the malaise in the urban space, taking as reference Walter Benjamin's diagnosis which /discusses the loss of experience through the emergency of lifestyles which are inherent to modernity and the consequent expansion and establishment of cities as human life's place par excellence. With this poor writing, as are many city territories, we intended to promote habits' withdrawal in the ways of perceiving and experiencing urban space. In this sense, it's an invitation to think practices and ways/forms of occupation and production of spaces that, being able to infect the urban body, such as viruses, promote the possibility of production of authentic experiences. An example of these spaces is the central marketplace/fair. How many more are we able to build?
