Atlas visual y digital sobre los contenidos audiovisuales del Bronx de Bogotá

Abstract

The Bronx of Bogotá, once a prestigious area, underwent a significant transformation, eventually becoming associated with marginality, sparking growing interest in understanding its changes and dynamics. However, the scattered nature of documentation on the Bronx hindered a comprehensive understanding, which led to the creation of a dedicated visual and digital atlas of this area. This project, influenced by Didi-Huberman's perspective, aims not only to preserve the Bronx's history but also to offer new perspectives for its study. In this regard, the primary objective is to analyze the audiovisual creations about the Bronx of Bogotá to generate a visual and digital atlas that allows for exploring urban transformations, significant events, and the impact on the local community. The atlas will highlight urban transformations, stigmatization and violence, artistic interventions, and social regeneration present in the visual content. To achieve this, the contributions of authors such as Didi-Huberman, Aby Warburg, Lina Castillo, Yader Palacios, Federico Ruvituso, Alejandra Álzate, Claudia Maya, and Verónica Heredia, who have emphasized the importance of revitalizing urban heritage and the educational potential of audiovisual archives, have been considered. Furthermore, the methodology employed combines qualitative approaches, such as interpretative and descriptive research, with techniques like documentary content analysis. Consequently, the analysis of the results reveals recurring themes and emerging narratives in the audiovisual archives, providing a solid foundation for constructing the atlas. Finally, the proposal to create the visual and digital atlas draws inspiration from Didi-Huberman's work and Warburg's memory cartographies, using principles such as proactive incompleteness and cross-relations to offer an enriched view of the Bronx of Bogotá.
