Abstract

The article, based on the experience of therapeutic accompaniment as a clinic without walls immersed in the city, focuses on the issue of the city and its relations to subjectivity. Using the elaborations of Benjamin about the flânerie and the idea of friendship as the politic present at Foucault and Derrida it underscores the importance, for the achievement of this clinic, of taking into account the city as polis, open to the encounter with difference and therefore a territory for conflict and negotiation. Thus the city as polis is the utopia that the clinic of therapeutic accompaniment intends activate.
