Abstract
CARDONA RODAS, Hilderman and VARGAS ZULUAGA, Nora Margarita. Bodies, Subjectivities, and Power. Biopolitics and Urban Aesthetics in Medellín. Tabula Rasa [online]. 2020, n.34, pp.40-63. Epub Feb 25, 2021. ISSN 1794-2489. https://doi.org/10.25058/20112742.n34.03.
Inquiring about the relations between the city, the territory, aesthetics, and population is made possible from a discursive horizon of biopolitics and the processes of urban appropriation in the city of Medellín, Colombia. Urban space is a place of memory, of manifold intersubjective passages in the world of life, considering aesthetic displays of resistance and domination in the city that are reflected in urban imaginaries, which are underscored by a series of pictures. The city as a biopolitical framework embodies resistances, impositions, and urban poetics having an expression on which could be defined as neo-baroque aesthetics of hybrid coexistence.
