GARAVITO ZULUAGA, Juan Pablo. Dialectics of the city: space, security, and diversity. univ.humanist. [online]. 2018, n.85, pp.183-209. ISSN 0120-4807. https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.uh85.dces.
The article develops a concept of urban security that is not limited to the issue of crime prevention or the repressive intervention of government forces; rather, it takes into account the spatial dimension of the city and the different types and interests of its inhabitants. The text is divided into two sections; the first one explores modern conceptions of space, based on concepts from 20th century philosophers and their relationship with the city. We see the urban space as a medium where the signs of a discontinuous, and sometimes fragmentary, narration are inscribed, where the spatial dimension is both passive and active, and whose paths give us infinite perspectives on what the same city is. The aforementioned helps us determine the basic concepts used in the second part, in order to establish a concept of security that does not simplify its meaning or limit its scope to the statistical aspect to configure its reality.
