| dc.description.abstract | In urban space always something is happening. (...) Here or there a crowd can gather, objects can be piled up, a party can take place, an event, terrifying or pleasant, can occur. Hence the fascinating character of urban space: the centrality always possible. (Lefebvre, 1999:121) The aim of this panel is to present different perspectives on some of the creative contemporary tactics of intervention and activation of public space in contemporary cities, focusing on Brazil. Contemporary society is experiencing a very dynamic time, with characteristic of ephemerality in various spheres of social and economic relations. This prints some characteristic features in the spaces of collective life, such as feelings of hostility, individualism and superficial relations between individuals. This state of urban anesthesia – or even “exception” – tends to reflect itself on physical spaces, building ultra-protective situations and privatization, whose side effects of social exclusion and abandonment of places call for creative and forceful responses by professionals and citizens in general. Faced with these issues, we will present actions and reactions (temporaries or permanents) to this state of passivity, which can leverage existing situations, intensify the everyday urban experience, regain places and give identity to degraded areas, contributing to permanent changes in the medium and long term. | |
