Abstract

Cities can be seen as raging whirlwind of emotions, such as anger, fear, joy, euphoria. Such feelings are embodied in subjects who inhabit cities. The affection became body, and these are territorialize, deterritorialize and reterritorialise through forms of identification of the subject with the other, but also with places and objects. So, we asked for the ways in which the urban is actuated, modeling, disputed, appropriate and registered in the bodies of their habitants, in large cities of Latin American. The first section focuses on performativity. In the second paragraph, I developed regarding the affection. The third part presents a framework of performativity and affectivities moving in public space. The final section explores the following problem: When Latin American cities have become heterogeneous and segregated, and public space is intensely inhabited, we ask us how it dramatizes the social in this public space? Are we live there and dramatized through built hexis,sometimes creative and other repetitive? Or perhaps, the social is dramatized from prediscursive affectivities, misty, circulating among people and anchored in one body and another.
