The work on the streets: territoriality, control and politics in the downtown of Medellin in the beginning of the twenty-first century

Abstract

As an active member of the Leisure, Motor Expressions and Society Group, since several years we have had a discussion about ludic areas, social equipments for leisure, the street as a ludic territory, the social setting of the territory, basically to the power relations that cross themselves in the construction and social production of the Latin American cities. This is the main topic when thinking about public politics for a ludic city.
