El cuerpo que transita en transmilenio: descripciones de corporeidad en la Bogotá de hoy

Abstract

This work presents the process and results of a research-creation project that aims to describe the bodies that transit within the Bogotá transportation system: Transmilenio. Based on micro-stories from users, a field diary, theoretical sources, visual records, the construction of categories, and the analogical and metaphorical elements of an artistic creation process from the performing arts, descriptions are proposed regarding the sensations, emotions, and actions performed by the transiting body, thanks to its aesthetic and esthesic relationship with this mode of transportation. Similarly, a presentation of the process and the results of the creation is carried out, and finally, as conclusions, several dilemmas that this body must overcome in its daily life are proposed. It suggests that one solution for improving the quality of life on this mode of transport is to conceive of the body as a metaphor for transformation through the concept of everyday power, capable of building a transit space into a place to inhabit.
