Logistics as method
There is a novel set of material interventions sweeping across South America that is not only questioning the agency and tools deployed by formal planning institutions, but also challenging the remit and political potential of design. Extending Escobar’s call to mobilise design to imagine post-extractivist worlds, the paper introduces the notion of logistics to explore means of operationalising modes of interdependence and relationality. Based on…
Counter-logistics and municipalism
Logistics, as the language and practice that organises the distribution of matter and value, not only scripts the infrastructural expansion of late capitalist urbanisations, it also informs the tactics of survivability and resistance that address the spatial and social disparities generated by the latter. Behind the arrangement of makeshift infrastructural set-ups for commercial exchange, food distribution and community support, there is a form o…
Prefigurative urbanization
The notion of prefiguration resurfaced in urban geography and social movement literature to describe the practices of social movements seeking to experience, in the present and through direct action, post-capitalist lifeworlds. The paper argues that the tactics that underpin prefigurative practices — the focus on immediate transformations and the recuperation of the agency to act without the mediation of representative structures –not only typify…
De la demanda a la prefiguración. Historia del derecho a la ciudad en América Latina
El artículo presenta un aporte para trazar una historia conceptual del derecho a la ciudad en América Latina. Partiendo de una lectura crítica de la obra de Lefebvre, el ensayo reconstruye los marcos teóricos que acompañaron las actualizaciones prácticas del derecho a la ciudad en la región. El artículo abarca un periodo que se abre con la publicación del texto de Lefebvre en 1968 y se cierra con el declive de la "nueva izquierda" latinoamericana…
The politics of construction
This paper seeks to position construction as a platform and practice for the articulation of a new type of urban politics. The argument is presented in four steps, and each supported by an analysis of the work of social movement Grupo Independiente Rosarino Organizado Solidariamente (GIROS) in Rosario. The first part describes how construction introduces prefiguration as a means of reconfiguring the spatialities and temporalities of urban politic…
Material Politics
Based on the example ofLeCorbusier's design for a network of urban thoroughfares inBuenosAires, this article examines the role of concrete in the invention of a new material imaginary, where novel structures were used to architecturally delimit the expressivity of urban life. The article is structured in two parts. The first part examines how materiality has been repositioned as a site of and for politics. I chart three different strands of mater…
A Lineal City in the Pampas
Critics of modern architectural utopias have referred to the notions of construction and politics as irreconcilable elements of an unsurpassable antinomy. By studying Wladimiro Acosta's attempt to interrupt the unfolding of the capitalist urban process in Buenos Aires through an integral revision of the Spanish block, I explore the political potential embedded in the instance of materialization and highlight construction's involvement in the tran…
