Caminhadas urbanas, com-vivências inesperadas

Abstract

Today’s urban accelerationism makes the act of walking in the city anachronistic. The rapid displacement of the subjects leads to a distracted understanding of the urban territories and social relations. In the 20th century, the renowned urban walking (Dadaists, Surrealists, Situationists, flânerie) sought to recognize other cultures and other modes of social existence. City walking can lead to unexpected public relations ranging from spontaneous solidarities to the recognition of inequalities and racism. Everything claims for the centrality of the street, which can be shown by walking through the streets and squares of Lisbon.
