Resumen
[es] El presente artículo apuesta a reflexionar sobre esa experiencia propia de la vida en las ciudades modernas, que implica el uso de medios de transporte de pasajeros como el
colectivo, el subte, el tren, en tanto experiencia novedosa del
ámbito urbano en la modernidad, indagando las implicancias
que la experiencia ha tenido en lo subjetivo.
Abordando lo urbano en relación a la dinámica de “flujos”
y “lugares” que implica, estos espacios móviles aparecen
como lugares habitados de forma transitoria, adquiriendo
este habitar ciertos rasgos particulares.
Cada vagón de tren o subte, cada colectivo, que circula a través de las vías de una ciudad, es un cuerpo de cuerpos, en
el que aún hoy se reproduce esa experiencia que señalara
Simmel, a través de la cual nos miramos sin hablarnos, pero
en la que cada vez más quienes transitan estos espacios mó-
viles se constituyen en nodos de intersección de otras redes,
que hacen que este cuerpo de cuerpos se abra a conexiones
con otros que transitan la misma ciudad o incluso otras ciudades del globo, perdiéndose en este espacio de lo urbano
generalizado.
[en] This article aims to reflect on that typical experience of modern city life, which involves the use of collective passenger transport such as bus, subway, train, as a new urban experience in modernity, and investigates the implications that this experience has had to subjectivity. Analyzing the urban experience in relation to the dynamics of “flows” and “places” which it involves, these mobile spaces emerge as places temporarily inhabited, acquiring some particular features. Each train or subway wagon, each bus, that flows through the city roads, is a body of bodies, in which still today the experience that Simmel noted -in which we look at each other without speaking-, takes place. Nowadays, people who go through these mobile spaces are increasingly becoming intersection nodes of other networks, opening this body of bodies to connections with others who move through the same city or even other cities around the globe, losing themselves in this widespread urban space.
