CALL FOR THE SECOND EDITION OF PIXO JOURNAL

What maps are possible to trace in the meeting of the body with the street? Choreographies can be the inscription forms of the city in the body of the inhabitants, it can be the movements of routes in the city and also it can be the different forms of people to intervene in the city. These choreographic changes can be voluntary, as the case of urban interventions, which provide new looks and meanings to the casual and distracted public, or it can be involuntary, movements that happen daily in the public space.

Contemporary cities can be understood not only by the static and hard component of buildings, roads and squares, but also pass through the activities and movements that people produce in an ephemeral way. The motif of the choreography suggests the possibility of understanding the cities from an approximate and sensitive writing that finds in the interlines and in between spaces potential for creation and reinvention of the contemporaneity.

It will be accepted papers from various knowledge areas whose discussion focus on the theme of Choreographies, because between the body and the city are the arts, politics, social spaces, embodied and political movements, environment, philosophy and so on. All these areas produce the architecture of the cities in every moment, in a ritornello from the contact with the urban.

The proposal also open itself to derivations of these manifestations in the condition of production of the urban space, in such a way that the discussion can be potentialized through established relations with different issues, also constituent in the public environment formation, as well as urban, architectural, artistic, philosophical, environmental, political, and social aspects, among others.
