“…Space is made," Barnd writes (p. 71). This feels too simplistic, too smooth, and yet I appreciate the directness and affirmation of the everyday practices that do, in fact, contribute to the production of space-an important point made by others, including artist Paglen (2008) and historian O'Brien (2010). Barnd's argument about these everyday acts of spatiality is particularly salient and nuanced in the context of the "Indian-themed street name cluster phenomenon," "subtitled spaces," especially among confederated tribes like Grand Ronde in Oregon, and Satanta Day, where practices of "playing Indian" and also "inhabiting Indianness" converge in unexpected ways.…”

“…A terceira premissa envolve a geografia experimental (PAGLEN, 2008) e uma corporificação do território (HAESBAERT, 2021). Uma forma experimental de criar e re/pensar espaços e uma corporeidade como característica do território.…”

Este artigo apresenta uma aproximação da Arte & Ciência através de uma metodologia proposta de expedição artística para perceber o mar. Tendo a caminhada como ponto de partida e coletas de dados científicos com medidores portáteis, a expedição usa o corpo como sensor e propõe um sentir o mar através desta corporificação do lugar. As histórias locais e discussões científicas se misturam, formando narrativas do mar. A metodologia foi criada como forma de percepção do Mar Mediterrâneo, uma proposta artística de decolonização da natureza, decolonização dos mares. É uma escuta científica e subjetiva de imersão no mar.

“…Departing from traditions of site-specific, 'heavy metal' public art (Kwon 2002), many artists are interested in spaces as social and emergent entities that become the focus and medium of artistic investigation. As such, artists (often working in areas variously labelled post-studio art; post-visual art, socially-engaged art, experimental geographies) respond to calls for cultural workers to move beyond critique as an end in itself, and to take up a 'position' within the politics of lived experience (Paglen 2008). My argument is that this contact zone between arts practice and social science research offers exciting opportunities for thinking anew about research methods.…”

carving out spaces where difference might be encountered in new ways, and by challenging viewers to imagine and enact new ways of being-in-common. URBAN ENCOUNTERS Urban life takes shape through encounters. This may seem like a banal, or even obvious, observation but it involves a profound epistemological shift in how cities are seen, theorised and understood (Amin and Thrift, 2002). Pausing to reflect on the encounters that take place in the course of daily urban life brings into view the textures of urban experience. Through the lens of encounters the city becomes a shifting terrain of unfolding social relations, orderings, exclusions, histories, and dreams. These encounters involve all kinds of meetings between people that give shape to social relations and orderings: the discomfort of negotiating bodily proximity on public transport systems; the familiarity of daily congregations at the school gates; the friendly chatter and accommodations of regulars in cafés; the bad-tempered navigation of rush hour traffic; the humiliation visited on bodies marked out as suspicious by law enforcement agencies; the generosity, hospitality and mutuality witnessed in food banks; the violent reproduction of social norms through sideways looks, vicious words or physical attacks. And it is not only encounters with other humans that give shape to urban life. The city is composed through encounters with (and increasingly between) the more-than-human materialities of the city. Infrastructures and technologies disappear into the background of the city, routinely overlooked or experienced as an inconvenience. Urban life is ordered and shaped through daily encounters with all kinds of things from the electricity grid to park benches, from turnstiles to the chips in mobile phones, bank cards and other forms of identification, from drugs to newspapers. Encounters with these technologies, infrastructures and objects play profound roles in mediating social relations, shaping social formations, regulating access, performing exclusions, smoothing and blocking mobility. Cities are also made in encounters with atmospheres, rhythms, structures of feeling, soundscapes and ghosts, dreams. Encounters with these often invisible, but felt qualities of urban life give shape to the buzz of city streets at carnival time, the drudgery of the daily grind, the cruel optimism of dreams of the good life, the petty tensions between neighbours, reputations and stigmas that hang heavily over some urban places.
