Ciudad/comunicación/cultura hacia una perspectiva transdisciplinaria

This article is oriented to build a transdisciplinary perspective to study the area of knowledge and debates that converge in the title of this text: City/Communication/Culture. Therefore, our proposal begins by recovering some former productions which aim towards that goal, recognizing the historical convergence that has occurred in Latin America between urban and communication studies. After that we refer to two tendencies which cities are gradually producing: commodification and medialization of actor’s experiences.By recovering different authors, we will try to present the features and dynamics that prevail in the production of urban sceneries, indicating the productive character of cities. We refloat the intimate relations between capitalist/touristified cities, market/publicity oriented communication and the construction of social bonds subsumed by capital’s logic.After such a presentation, we will reflect fenomenologically about some current dimensions in urban life, particularly in Cordoba and other cities of Argentina: subjects with devices attached to their bodies, in closed neighborhoods, with fixated trajectories, with children being killed to guard commodities, and forming at the same time our sensibilities and collective sensorium.From our point of view, the city is not only scenery or a continent, a picture or a frame. Instead, the city has an active role in the production of ways of being together/being apart. But also, in the ways of fighting capitalism.
