Resumen
FABARON, Ana. Urban Landscapes, difference and inequality. A case study in La Boca, Buenos Aires. Rev. Mus. Antropol. [online]. 2016, vol.9, n.1, pp.69-82. ISSN 1852-060X.
This article aims to critically reflect upon the notion of landscape and its links with -differentiated and unequal- ways of imagining and inhabiting the city. The analysis is based on a case study in La Boca, a neighborhood in the southern area of the city of Buenos Aires, where urban reconversion processes coexists with housing insufficiency. Through an ethnographic approach supplemented with secondary sources, the paper explores the main characteristics and socio-spatial transformations of the neighborhood in relation with the rest of the city. The article focuses in dwellers and passersby practices, in dialogue with different approaches to the concept of landscape, and with studies that emphasize the relation between the aestheticisation of the contemporary cities and an exclusive city model. From a dwelling perspective -centered in urban practices- the proposed approach seeks take into account the tensions and interweaving between the daily urban landscapes of La Boca' s dwellers and the cultural landscapes oriented toward visual consumption, incorporating in the analysis the unequal power relations.
