Abstract
WINOCUR, Rosalía. What did we do with the Media? Problems and Challenges Faced by the Grupo de Cultura Urbana (Urban Culture Group). Alteridades [online]. 2008, vol.18, n.36, pp.107-114. ISSN 2448-850X.
The Media are conceived as a research problem when considered fundamental and constituent parts of the urban experience. This has meant that: they have not only been considered stages but also social, political and cultural actors; they not only reproduce social order but generate utopias; they're not only ideological devices but also socialize modernity and the urban experience; they're not only territories for social fragmentation and anarchy but also symbolic maps of social restraint. This led us to place the reflection on Media-city-citizens under three analytic perspectives: urban imaginary, transformations of public spaces and everyday life.
