Heterophotopia

Abstract

The critical and analytical confrontation of difficult times, by means of an innovative proposal for social transformation, aims at the common good for the recognition of diversity and the reduction of inequalities. It is a resistance action upon the conflict spaces that destabilize, facing an open horizon of complexities and infinite possibilities of methodological experimentation for its understanding. Heterophotopia is a word created and established from an authorial photoshoot of compensation heterothopias, that is, conterspaces, absolutely different places (Foucault, 2013). Starting from an experience of perception, narrative and understanding of the complexity (Morin, 2006) of the social vulnerability territories and their actors, through urban walking (Careri, 2015) and from situations that emerge from these wanderings (Jacques, 2005), the essay is allowed to be carried by chance or by listening to a silent scream: survival manifest emerging ahead.
