Cossos afectius: pràctiques íntimes de disseny per reinventar la vida quotidiana
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Aquest article investiga algunes de les implicacions de les pràctiques íntimes de disseny mitjançant dos projectes acadèmics que s’han dut a terme en el context d’un present inestable. Sosté que les pràctiques de disseny tenen la capacitat de fomentar la intimitat i l’afecte a través del punt de vista de les polítiques de la cura. Els autors es basen en la idea dels cossos afectius per afirmar que el disseny pot explorar nous camins que reinventin la vida quotidiana i se centrin en els contextos recents, afectats per la crisi. L’article examina de quina manera les pràctiques íntimes que reformulen les polítiques quotidianes poden reprendre la temporalitat, la ciutadania activa i l’afectivitat radical com a necessitats infraestructurals en els hàbitats urbans contemporanis.
Els dos estudis de cas es van dur a terme entre el març de 2020 i el desembre de 2021, sota el clima d’emergència provocat pel sobtat brot de COVID-19 a l’Europa occidental que es va sumar a la crisi de refugiats al mar Mediterrani. Atès que cada vegada es desdibuixa més la frontera entre el que és privat i el que és públic, entre el que és personal i el que és polític, és especialment rellevant explorar la intimitat com un mitjà per emprendre accions políticament empoderades a través del disseny. L’objectiu dels dos estudis de cas és interrompre durant un temps els usos convencionals dels espais urbans col·lectius per generar llocs de resistència que explorin els potencials subliminars dels espais urbans i ens permetin imaginar, o fins i tot experimentar, diferents tipus de vida a través d’una visió actualitzada de la cura. Aquestes irrupcions d’apropiacions intersubjectives d’espais urbans no només tenen un impacte emblemàtic, sinó que també tenen un efecte acumulatiu perquè generen una creixent xarxa de cossos afectius en acció. Aquesta xarxa afectiva emergent ofereix oportunitats rellevants per transformar contextos urbans afectats per crisis a través d’interaccions dinàmiques entre la socialitat i l’espacialitat.

Manuela Valtchanova, Elisava, Facultat de Disseny i Enginyeria de Barcelona (UVic-UCC)
Arquitecta (TUM, Munic / UACEG, Sofia, 2015), investigadora de doctorat a la Universitat de Barcelona (grup d’investigació d’Arte, Globalització i Interculturalitat) i ELISAVA Research (grup d’investigació HIMTS), a més de professora associada del màster d’Arquitectura Efímera i Espais Temporals, ELISAVA.
Durant la seva carrera professional, des del 2012 ha col·laborat a diversos despatxos d’arquitectura. Actualment treballa a l’estudi Queralt Suau, que duu a terme projectes que tracten els formats d’arquitectura heterogènia, des dels espais d’escenaris i exposicions fins a les intervencions en espais públics.
Des de l’abril de 2018 forma part del grup d’investigació d’ELISAVA, on actualment desenvolupa projectes d’arquitectura efímera, cartografia operativa i cohesió social. També ha estat professora auxiliar tutora en diferents formats acadèmics, on ha treballat en estratègies de disseny relacionades amb l’urbanisme transformador, els espais temporals i les intervencions en l’espai públic. La seva investigació de doctorat explora la idea de l’arquitectura de l’acció o les pràctiques socioespacials de la intersubjetivitat, la singularització i les noves temporalitats dels espais habitats de la ciutat contemporània.
