Abstract

The dissertation proposes a theoretical-practical study about the importance of subjective maps made by creators of diverse areas as \"tactical\" devices capable of proposing knowledge about space beyond the panoptic and impersonal vision of traditional cartography. It seeks to reflect on how actions of drift and wandering and its subsequent \"map-as-reporting\", in various formats, allow the architecting of a nomadic space-time within the city, able to re-signify the relations that the individual - both the creator himself and the audience / reader / user - have with the city. This occurs because the path is taken as a value in itself, beyond the points of arrival, which creates breaches in the dictates of fast and functional time, promoting situations of kindness, fruition and reflection. I take as a reference the maps and books produced by Guy Debord and Asger Jorn in the Situationist context, the books Les dormeurs e Suite Vénitienne of the French artist Sophie Calle, The Guide of vacant lots of São Paulo (2006), by Lara Almarcegui and the trilogy I got up, I went and I met of the Japanese conceptual artist On Kawara. The research goes hand in hand with the production of a practical experiment, the creation of the book Cidade Passo, which brings the content of fifteen interviews with residents of five districts of São Paulo in a graphic project that brings to the surface visually the conceptual aspects that permeate research.
