Abstract

We start from the critique about the spetacularization of the cities and purpose the necessity of to return the political character of the public space through the valorization of the bodily experience of the cities, presenting the idea of bodygraphy as a possibility of micro-resistance to these apolitical and segregator process. The public space, if recognized by excellence as the conflict locus, includes agents and mobilizes agenciaments much more diverse and contradictory than people would like and are used to identify. While the art, if is recognized as the experience locus, promotes space-temporal perceptions much more complex than the moralized and individualists effects that are normally attributed to the scenography contemplation
