<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Toda la vida de las sociedades            en las que dominan las condiciones modernas de producción se            presenta como una inmensa acumulación de <i>espectáculos</i>.            Todo lo que era vivido directamente se aparta en una representación.</font></p>

<h3><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">2</font></h3>
<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Las imágenes que se            han desprendido de cada aspecto de la vida se fusionan en un curso común,            donde la unidad de esta vida ya no puede ser restablecida. La realidad            considerada <i>parcialmente</i> se despliega en su propia unidad general            en tanto que seudo-mundo <i>aparte</i>, objeto de mera contemplación.            La especialización de las imágenes del mundo se encuentra,            consumada, en el mundo de la imagen hecha autónoma, donde el            mentiroso se miente a sí mismo. El espectáculo en general,            como inversión concreta de la vida, es el movimiento autónomo            de lo no-viviente.</font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>A fictional narrative is an agitated space.  A story world is constructed with attention to selection of detail and level of its description (setting and its establishment of tone, subtext and above all, physical place).  The traditional role of the author has been to carefully use these tools to create the other world.  The city is also an agitated space.  A city  is a collection of data and sub-text to be read in the context of ethnography,  history, semiotics, architectural patterns and forms, physical form and rhythm, juxtaposition, city planning, land usage shifts and other ways of interpretation and analysis. The city patterns can be equated to the patterns within literature: repetition, sub-text shift, metaphor, cumulative resonances, emergence of layers, decay and growth.</p>
<p>The city is rich with layered semiotic  systems on even a cursory, immediate reading.</p>
<p>There is at present a dual city to be read, the denotative and connotative city, if you will.  The city exists to navigate and “read” on a literal level of interpretation of architecture, shifts, movement, traces of past and the patterns that form as one walks through the city.  This is the denotative city.  The author utilizing the concepts and form of narrative archaeology can form a reading of the second city (the connotative city or semiotically charged) with points in street layout pinpointed to address the resonance of multiple readings and resonances of buildings, street signs, navigation, infrastructure.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p class="MsoNormal">&#8220;El ritmo del andar genera un tipo de ritmo del pensar y el pasaje por un paisaje refleja o estimula el pasaje a través de una serie de pensamientos. Esto produce una singular consonancia entre un pasaje interno y uno externo, que sugiere que la mente es un paisaje dentro de otros y que el andar es un modo de atravesarlo. Un nuevo pensamiento aparece como una característica del paisaje, como si el pensar fuera más un viajar que un hacer.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Rebecca Solnit, Wanderlust: A History of Walking  <a href="http://enjoyment.independent.co.uk/books/reviews/article208346.ece" title="The Independent Online" target="_blank">(Reseña)</a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>&#8220;In the late 20th century, this connection is still asserted: the French structuralist Jean-Christophe Bailly has spoken of a generative grammar of the legs (grammaire generative des jambes), while his compatriot Michel de Certeau believes that: &#8220;The act of walking is to the urban system what the speech act is to language.&#8221; Just as the woods and hills are best explored, and their mysteries penetrated, by foot, so too are the streets and enclaves of the city.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Solnit distinguishes between the tradition of peripatetic meditation in enclosed spaces, exemplified by the Greek sophists and the later monastic tradition, with that of the unbounded walk which, like life itself, has no pre-determined pattern or teleology. It is the latter kind of walking which is the principal subject of this book, inspired by <b><a href="http://www.socialfiction.org/psychogeography/thoreau.html" title="Walking Text by Thoreau" target="_blank">Thoreau&#8217;s</a></b> belief that, &#8220;When we walk, we naturally go to the fields and the woods: what would become of us, if we only walked in a garden or a mall?&#8221; Modern mall-walkers might profitably ask themselves the same question.&#8221;</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>&#8220;&#8230;<br />
<font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2"> THE EXISTING FRAMEWORK cannot subdue the        new human force that is increasing day by day alongside the irresistible        development of technology and the dissatisfaction of its possible uses in        our senseless social life.        </font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2"> Alienation and oppression in this society cannot be distributed amongst          a range of variants, but only rejected en bloc with this very society.          All real progress has clearly been suspended until the revolutionary solution          of the present multiform crisis&#8230;&#8221;</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2">&#8220;&#8230;The church has already burnt the so-called witches to repress the primitive          ludic tendencies conserved in popular festivities. Under the existing          dominant society, which produces the miserable pseudo-games of non-participation,          a true artistic activity is necessarily classed as criminality. It is          semi-clandestine. It appears in the form of scandal.        </font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2"> So what really is the situation? It&#8217;s the realization of a better game,          which more exactly is provoked by the human presence. The revolutionary          gamesters of all countries can be united in the S.I. to commence the emergence          from the prehistory of daily life.        </font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2"> Henceforth, we propose an autonomous organization of the producers of          the new culture, independent of the political and union organizations          which currently exist, as we dispute their capacity to organize anything          other than the management of that which already exists&#8230;&#8221;</font></p>
<p>&#8220;&#8230;</p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2"> What would be the principle characteristics of the new culture and how          would it compare with ancient art?        </font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2"> Against the spectacle, the realized situationist culture introduces          total participation.        </font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2"> Against preserved art, it is the organization of the directly lived          moment.        </font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2"> Against particularized art, it will be a global practice with a bearing,          each moment, on all the usable elements. Naturally this would tend to          collective production which would be without doubt anonymous (at least          to the extent where the works are no longer stocked as commodities, this          culture will not be dominated by the need to leave traces.) The minimum          proposals of these experiences will be a revolution in behavior and a          dynamic unitary urbanism capable of extension to the entire planet, and          of being further extensible to all habitable planets.        </font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2"> Against unilateral art, situationist culture will be an art of dialogue,          an art of interaction. Today artists &#8211; with all culture visible &#8211; have          been completely separated from society, just as they are separated from          each other by competition. But faced with this impasse of capitalism,          art has remained essentially unilateral in response. This enclosed era          of primitivism must be superseded by complete communication.        </font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2"> At a higher stage, everyone will become an artist, i.e., inseparably          a producer-consumer of total culture creation, which will help the rapid          dissolution of the linear criteria of novelty. Everyone will be a situationist          so to speak, with a multidimensional inflation of tendencies, experiences,          or radically different &#8220;schools&#8221; &#8211; not successively, but simultaneously&#8230;.&#8221;</font></p>
<p>&#8220;&#8230;<font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2"> We will inaugurate what will historically be the last of the crafts.          The role of amateur-professional situationist &#8211; of anti-specialist &#8211; is          again a specialization up to the point of economic and mental abundance,          when everyone becomes an &#8220;artist,&#8221; in the sense that the artists have          not attained the construction of their own life. However, the last craft          of history is so close to the society without a permanent division of          labor, that when it appeared amongst the S.I., its status as a craft was          generally denied&#8230;.&#8221;</font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><font size="3"><font face="arial, helvetica">In the article Semiology and Urbanism (1967) <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_Barthes" title="Wiki">Roland Barthes</a> points out that it is important to bring an approach to the city which goes further than a metaphorical level. He points to a real level. The metaphor treats the city as a picture but not necessarily the real city. But he gives no further details about this real level (although he mentions Freud’s dream theory).</font></font></p>
<p><font size="3"><font face="arial, helvetica">At the moment the Danish State is working in the streets and squares of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copenhagen" target="_blank">Copenhagen</a>. They are constructing a wholly new metro system. Until now transport in Copenhagen has unfolded overground; on bikes, in cars and busses. With the use of heavy machinery, the excavation works are in a very concrete way penetrating beneath the picturesque surface of the city. Usually you never see large deposits of mud and clay in a city. They are digging 5 or 6 giant holes in key locations as preparation for the concreting of new stations. The holes are as deep as the buildings which surrounds them are high &#8211; sometimes deeper. Cities usually strive for the sky; and the direct opposition to this movement makes these holes disturbing. They reintroduce in the city a somehow repressed but dynamic world; a world which our ancestors probably fled from when they began to live in large settlements, and then cities, in the first place. A world with its own timescale and its own imperceptible flow.</font></font></p>
<p><font size="3"><font face="arial, helvetica">It took only a few months to dig through the layers of culture: first a layer with still functional infrastructure; cables, pipes and sewers, then a historic layer; a section of Copenhagen’s old fortifications was found and excavated and then a layer of fill placed there by man over the last 1000 years to reclaim the land from the sea. Now the excavators face a reality of mud and clay. In the first 10 metres under sea level the machines are working through deposits from the ice ages. Layers of mud, boulder clay and moraine sand. The ice from the last ice age melted 15.000 years ago. At that time most of the Copenhagen region was covered by marsh and swamp. Over a period of a few thousand years, plant and animal life slowly invaded the dry territories with the concomitant milder climate. During the present period, the quaternary period, which includes the last 2-3 million years, the region has been covered by ice four times. The glaciers that moved over the region carried clay, sand and mud from the north. Materials made from disintegrated bedrock due to the friction from the ice and other processes of erosion. The ice moved only a few metres every year and slowly raked up and changed the landscape and coastline. The last ice age lasted 10.000 years and the ice sheet, sometimes up to two kilometres thick, slid heavily over the Copenhagen region. The ice left the mud, the clay and the sand for the excavation workers mixed without any clear layering.</font></font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>La diferencia entre máquinas nómadas y estatales se la debemos a la filosofía contemporánea, específicamente a Deleuze-Guattari, este &#8220;autor&#8221; expone en su <i>Tratado de nomadología</i> (Deleuze y  Guattari, 1997) otra versión de la Máquina de Guerra. Pensamos que tal versión le fue sugerida al &#8220;teórico&#8221; por su lectura de &#8220;La construcción de la muralla China&#8221; de Franz Kafka. En este relato un funcionario menor, al parecer un albañil, narra los métodos que siguió el Celeste Imperio en la construcción de esa muralla inverosímil. Durante la faena, los obreros observaban que las tribus nómadas cruzaban frente a las obras para luego perderse en las estepas. El cronista anota que quizás los nómadas tenían una mejor visión de la muralla que los mismos constructores y albañiles.</p>
<p>La lectura anterior indica la presencia de dos aparatos: El uno, estatal, que intenta a todo alcanc estriar el espacio, limitarlo (limes: muralla). El otro, nómada, que se mueve por un espacio abierto. Esta diferencia es la misma que Deleuze y Guattari usa para construir la genealogía de la máquina de guerra. (Máquina, en la teoría usada, es un sistema de cortes, corta flujos. Una máquina produce un determinado flujo que esa máquina u otra corta).</p>
<p>El devenir, para el &#8220;autor&#8221;, es un lugar de flujo, un estar entre una cosa y otra, implica derrotar el binarismo y abandonarse en una corriente, un flujo… Devenir es, a partir de las formas que se tiene, del sujeto que se es, de los órganos que se posee o de las funciones que se desempeña, extraer partículas entre las que se instalan relaciones de movimiento y de reposo, de velocidad y de lentitud. En este sentido el devenir es &#8220;el proceso del deseo&#8221;. Luego, la máquina de guerra está atravesada, en su interior, por todo tipo de estos devenires, dentro de ella los números, los hombres, que la componen devienen, por ejemplo, animal en el furor, hembra en la derrota. Exterior a ella, el devenir de la máquina se expresa en que &#8220;traza una línea de fuga creadora, la composición de un espacio liso y el movimiento de los hombres en ese espacio&#8221; (Rodríguez, 2002). Este párrafo  contiene y perfila las características de la máquina de guerra en tanto  invención nómada:</p>
<p>1. Un aspecto espacial geográfico.<br />
2. Un  aspecto aritmético.<br />
3. Un aspecto afectivo.</p>
<p>1. <i>Aspecto espacial geográfico:</i> El nómada se desplaza por espacios lisos. Los trayectos determinan los puntos. Los nómadas se mueven o permanecen, en un lugar de la naturaleza que no está fijado por estrías o demarcaciones estables, sino que movimiento y permanencia están determinados por velocidades, intensidades, devenires. Estos hombres van de un lugar a otro como consecuencia de una necesidad de hecho, lo cual genera una distribución espacial de los sujetos en un espacio abierto no comunicante. Al contrario de los espacios sedentarios que son estriados por muros, lindes, el espacio nómada está marcado por trazos que se borran, irregulares. No olvidemos, a este respecto, que la comunicación es una de las obsesiones del Estado.</p>
<p>3. <i>Aspecto afectivo:</i> Afectos, en la teoría que nos ocupa, significa algo así como provocar una conmoción en otro o en una cosa. El aspecto &#8220;afectivo&#8221; de la máquina de guerra está dado en que la existencia nómada tiene por afectos las armas, armas que proyectan la desterritorialización. El afecto es la descarga rápida de la emoción, de la respuesta. Los afectos son proyectiles tanto como las armas. Desde este punto de vista, se puede combinar el paso del Estado inmóvil del guerrero a la velocidad pura, con la relación reposo-velocidad de la máquina de guerra.</p>
<p>Se observa claramente que la propuesta del autor se pliega a los desarrollos propuestos sobre la forma de pensar producida por el Estado. Aún más, es típico de los sedentarios &#8220;distribuir a los hombres en un espacio cerrado, asignando a cada uno su parte…&#8221;</p>
<p>La forma estatal de delimitar el espacio está basada en &#8220;un modelo hilomórfico… de distribución de las materias en franjas paralelas…&#8221; (Deleuze y  Guattari, 1997). Aquí en la  frontera de González de Nájera se plasma el <i>organon </i>que &#8220;sería algo así  como la forma-estado marcada en el pensamiento&#8221; (Deleuze y  Guattari, 1997)<i>, </i>marca que no sólo consiste en estriar el espacio y limitar todo lo que se pueda al planeta y a sus habitantes, sino que además conlleva obscuras intenciones. Las que se muestran en el <i>Desengaño… </i>a través de unas observaciones reveladoras: la primera es que se propone que una vez instalada la frontera se debe suprimir todo trato con los indios, pues en la época éstos comerciaban con los españoles, obtenían hierro de ellos, etc.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>This wondrous alchemy whereby spiritual values and materials things are transmuted into vicarious experience, an experience of spectacle, is the byproduct of a process we call commodification. Now I looked up the word commodification in my old edition of Webster&#8217;s Collegiate as I prepared for this speech, only to discover that it was not in common usage in 1973, which isn&#8217;t surprising. For it is only in the last 25 years or so that we have had enough perspective to discover what has overcome us.</p>
<p>The commodification of our culture, as representing a final phase of late 20th century capitalism, has only gradually become apparent, and even now the scale of its effects on our society are not well understood. Had I known this when I scanned that sea of television antennas many years ago, I would have realized that beneath each roof in every house, there existed people held in isolation from the world at large. Like those famous prisoners in Plato&#8217;s cave, these internees are given only spectral shadows to experience. They stare steadily at entertaining images and by degrees mistake them for palpable things and real experience. Gnawed by an incessant appetite, a boundless hunger for spectacle and it&#8217;s ambiguous promise of satisfaction, they endure this vicarious state from day to day, from year to year, now throughout entire lifetimes, in a state of isolation from the sunlit world and from one another.</p>

Pues desde hace algún tiempo, detrás de numerosas vallas de acero que superan el metro de altura, el Capitolio Nacional, en donde se acatan y promulgan las reformas más importantes de Colombia, y otros de los edificios de la manzana sur de la Plaza de Bolívar (entre ellos la Casa de Nariño, lugar en el que vive la persona que dirige nuestros intereses), ahora se encuentran como secuestrados. Quizá exageramos porque finalmente los podemos ver. Pero, ¿ello de qué nos sirve, si cuando caminamos por sus alrededores, jóvenes uniformados y armados nos impiden el paso próximo? ¿Es que estos edificios han sido hechos para ser vistos a distancia?</p>
<p>Así describía Thomas Reed su proyecto para el Capitolio Nacional: &#8220;El Palacio del total Gobierno de una República es, en lo civil, la casa de todos; ésta debe ser la expresión de mi obra. Nada pues de aislada cárcel, ni de hosca fortificación, ni de alegre teatro, nada tampoco de iglesia, toda vez que no tratamos de fábrica religiosa. Quede abierto ese atrio o ese patio, como una inmensa puerta por donde entre, con derecho de amo en su casa, toda la República&#8221;. Pero cuando a esa puerta se le antepone una reja, el edificio termina pareciendo un animal en el zoológico, aislado de la vida urbana, indiferente a quienes lo miran, e indiferenciado frente a la masa de edificios de la ciudad. Resulta pues paradójico, que la palabra República, cuya origen latino la ubica en la Roma anterior a Augusto, define el territorio del imperio. La Res Pública o la cosa pública, implicaba un lugar construido en su totalidad por caminos sin aduanas, que permitían el tránsito libre de un lugar a otro.</p>
<p>¿En un gobierno aparentemente democrático es posible que haya este tipo de transgresiones hacia lo público? ¿Acaso hemos perdido el sentido de lo público? ¿Alguna vez lo hemos tenido? ¿Por qué se nos impide circular por la ciudad libremente? Sobre esta última cuestión, cualquier ciudadano puede comprobar que, al caminar prevenidamente por los andenes del Capitolio y la casa de<br />
Nariño, no tardará en aparecer un guardia presidencial ordenando pasar a la otra acera por motivos de &#8220;seguridad&#8221;. El caso se vuelve paradójico, hasta el punto de la risa el día domingo, cuando se exacerba la restricción sobre esta acera mientras miles de personas acuden a la ciclo-vía.</p>
<p>El caminar por estas aceras, nos convierte de inmediato en sospechosos, pues nos acercamos demasiado al lugar que debería constituirse como la máxima expresión de lo público. El hecho de que sea el propio estado quien prohíba el paso, hace de este abuso algo legal, legítimo o normal, y lo aceptamos sin cuestionarlo, quizá porque no sabemos que se nos están limitando nuestros derechos. Ante esta separación entre el estado y la sociedad civil, el gobierno se protege del pueblo que lo eligió. Nuestro interés no es polarizar el estado y la sociedad, como si fueran enemigos. Con eso estaríamos levantando la misma valla que nos separa. El espacio es de &#8220;todos&#8221;, de esto se trata la democracia. Vallas, rejas y muros no son sinónimo de seguridad, son privatización de lo público.</p>
<p>La seguridad al contrario, se construye a partir de la confianza. Todos deberíamos poder circular por nuestro espacio, por nuestra casa, que es la ciudad; y nuestros gobernantes también deberían poder estar tranquilos conviviendo junto con nosotros en una relación solidaria. Las instituciones deben estar al servicio del pueblo, no el pueblo al servicio de las instituciones. El Capitolio y la Casa de Nariño no son los únicos lugares en donde sucede esto. Lo mismo ocurre en la calle de la vicepresidencia, en las embajadas, estaciones de policía, Universidades, entre otros. Quienes nos deben proteger se salvaguardan de nosotros. El temor se ha apoderado de los gobernantes ¿A qué le temen? Quizás a su propia conciencia.</p>

&#8220;&#8230;The very leisure that the machine now gives in advanced countries can be profitably used, not for further commitment to still other kinds of machine, furnishing automatic recreation, but by doing significant forms of work, unprofitable or technically impossible under mass production: work dependent upon special skill, knowledge, aesthetic sense. The do-it-yourself movement prematurely got bogged down in an attempt to sell still more machines; but its slogan pointed in the right direction, provided we still have a self to do it with. The glut of motor cars that is now destroying our cities can be coped with only if we redesign our cities to make fuller use of a more efficient human agent: the walker. Even in childbirth, the emphasis is already happily shifting from an officious, often lethal, authoritarian procedure, centered in hospital routine, to a more human mode, which restores initiative to the mother and to the body&#8217;s natural rhythms&#8230;&#8221;</p>
