Habitar[es] en el siglo 21

About this book

The Program "Espacios, Políticas, Sociedades" (Spaces, Policies, Societies) of the Centro de Estudios Interdisciplinarios of the Universidad Nacional de Rosario main objective is to make methodological and conceptual contributions to contemporary discussions about space policies, political spaces, spatial justice and, in general, the spatial dimension of social dynamics. Composed of trained, associated and training researchers, the Program is open to the integration of different disciplines of the social sciences, humanities, architecture, geography and urbanism. The book is crossed by three problematic-conceptual axes: materiality, speeds and shares that are developed from contributions elaborated from different perspectives and theoretical positions. In the first part, the relational forms that define the materiality of housing and the material logics of living are shown. Questions are asked about the ways in which materiality, everyday practices and political forms intertwine and promote new constellations and alternative spaces. In the second part, the binary approximations of some interior spaces represented as immobile and others, exterior, dynamic and crossed by speeds are problematized. Finally, the cases analyzed in the sharing section address modes of relationships around housing divergent from the conventional ones and, stopping at the permanent dynamics of reconfiguration, negotiation, resignification, invite us to recognize the complexity of the relationships of hospitality and cohabitation.
