[NetBehaviour] need some help

[Ana Valdés]

Why not as a guest, Alan? You are one of the best formulated people I know
around :)
It would be an honor for me having you as a guest!

This is the presentation of the topic, please feel free to pass around it!

"Urban resilience" , to try to understand the new ways and methods of
activism and resilience performed in the urban environment. We live in a
world where the populations tend  to desert the rural areas and gather in
megacities. The urban tissue is made of gests, rituals, memes going viral
and reproducing itselves.
We are going to gather in this discussion Spanish architects and urbanists
working in Fukushima and mapping the resistance against the nuclear,
Uruguayan writers and philosophers working at museums and universities,
thinking about time and space in a time of change of paradigms.
Where is the axis where urbanists, architects, activists, writers and
philosophers converge and interact? Since Guy Debord wrote about the city
and the situationists saw in the city the canvas of actions and art have we
been fascinated with the movements and actions generated by the city in
itself.

"When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with
your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and there you will always
long to return.
— Leonardo da Vinci
