Abstract

Citizenship appears to us as an incessant constituent process, as a dynamic that is never stabilised, as a continuous development of struggles, conflicts, tensions, relationships, contestations and negotiations between social groups and rulers, between subordinate movements and hegemonic institutions. On this level, we can already understand the city (both conceptually and practically) as a political space that crosses bodies, arranging, placing and dislocating them in a series of interactions and relations that configure sociality and power. It is from these interactions that a process of subjectification (valorisation and qualification) and social de-subjectification is initiated: a process that finds in the urban fabric the prerequisites for political realisation (individual and collective) and for the social recognition of human beings. Beyond the many aspects that accompany this discourse, what we are most interested in emphasising here is the relationship between the idea of citizenship, the exercise of political rights and the cultures of living, which after the state of emergency linked to COVID-19 has redesigned an idea of public health as a form on which to redefine social relations.

El carácter de ciudadano se nos presenta como un proceso constituyente incesante, como una dinámica que nunca se estabiliza, como un desarrollo continuo de luchas, conflictos, tensiones, relaciones, impugnaciones y negociaciones entre grupos sociales y gobernantes, entre movimientos subalternos e instituciones hegemónicas. En este nivel, ya podemos entender la ciudad (tanto conceptual como prácticamente) como un espacio político que atraviesa los cuerpos, disponiéndolos, colocándolos y dislocándolos en una serie de interacciones y relaciones que configuran la socialidad y el poder. Es a partir de estas interacciones que se inicia un proceso de subjetivación (valorización y cualificación) y des-subjetivación social: un proceso que encuentra en el tejido urbano los prerrequisitos para la realización política (individual y colectiva) y para el reconocimiento social de los seres humanos. Más allá de los múltiples aspectos que acompañan este discurso, lo que más nos interesa destacar aquí -principalmente desde un enfoque teórico- es la relación entre la idea de ciudadanía, el ejercicio de los derechos políticos y las culturas del habitar, que tras el estado de emergencia vinculado al COVID-19 ha rediseñado una idea de salud pública como forma sobre la que redefinir las relaciones sociales.
