VASCONEZ-VACA, Dennis-Javier. The inhabited territory. Parkour, motor skills, and affections in Quito. Perspectiva Geográfica [online]. 2019, vol.24, n.2, pp.149-170. ISSN 0123-3769.  https://doi.org/10.19053/01233769.8844.

This article is a reflection on body movement and affections in the city of Quito. These matters are deeply observed and carefully considered from the perspective of parkour, a motor activity in which practitioners move through urban spaces using their own bodies in the fastest and most effective way possible. Through the experience of learning and practicing parkour, among the activities of the Étre Fort collective, this study inquires into the transformations caused by this discipline in the city, its spatial production and inhabited territory, while pondering the affective elements arising from this practice and their role in such transformations.

Palavras-chave : Affections; body; emotions; urban space; to inhabit; mobility; territory.
