Descripción
Sumario:In cities with diverse sources of insecurity there are informal rules for the protection and surveillance recognizable in the spatial practices, the corporal postures, the verbal language, the use of objects and the gender relations. The aggregation of these rules give birth to the securonormativity, an urban sociability marked for the surveillance and fear that can be considered as a contradiction of contemporary urbanization. The article describes and analyzes the surveillance exercised and received for individuals in different scenarios of interaction. It explores the securonormativity in Bogota, Colombia, but the tools and findings are useful to study the others contexts, especially, the Global South cities. The main theoretical and methodological tools come from time-geography, Bruno Latour and Judith Butler. The primary data were collected with a tool we called “clocks of everyday spatial practices”.
