Abstract

This doctoral thesis investigates experiments in narratives of contemporary urban displacements, based on other operations of predominant cartographic systems. The research takes the notions of map and movement and connects them producing a third one: maps-movements, which happens, in turn, when used by functioning. The notion of map is presented through the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari, which articulates it as open to the possible; and that of movement, by Deleuze, as a change of the whole. In order to engender openings to the possible and to changes, another type of functioning is claimed, a notion from Flusser; and opening the image, from Didi-Huberman. In the case of cartographies, it goes through the need to break with what is given firstly by cartographic systems. Thus, the work takes as its starting point the understanding of the universe of cartography linked to practices of control and power relations. Then, in order to circumscribe narratives in proximity to architecture and urbanism, under the displacement filter, an analytical reading of four works from the field is carried out, which do so for the interest in the order of the visible and the surface, taking a position in front of the disciplinary field: Townscape, The view from the road, Learning from Las Vegas and The Manhattan Transcripts. Its updating possibilities are evaluated, in which other narratives are experimented, based on collective audiovisual essays, available on its own website. (AU)
