Subjectivities and city: clues of the real estate speculation in the urban daily life of Maceió (AL).
City, subjectivities, critical image, real estate speculation
The city of Maceió, currently, faces some more evident questions of a very complex character as to the relationship we constitute with the territory. One of them refers to real estate speculation and its impacts on the North Coast region and coastal neighborhoods. Among them, the Garça Torta, an area of the city that experiences strong real estate increase, and is composed of a traditional fishing community. In the research we take as a starting point this context of territory to problematize the urban daily life of the Garça Torta, crossed by real estate speculation. We seek to produce some clues of this speculated urban daily life, which help us to challenge which ways of existing are articulated in this space, as well as which forms of resistance constitute in the different ways of experiencing the city. Methodologically, it is intended to do this from wanderings in the neighborhood to build an experience plan, while betting on the image as an analytical and political-methodological tool. Therefore, we worked with the category of "critical image" developed by George Didi-Huberman as an epistemological and analytical instrument for wanderings, as well as from other thinkers such as Walter Benjamin, Jacques Rancière, Silvia Cusicanqui and Michel de Certeau. These writings help us think of the power of the image and daily life as a temporal slot of opportunity, to realize other ways to put ourselves before the lived (history). In this case, of experiencing the city in another way, as a subversive act.
