Title: | In praise of other views: the world of cities and the social sciences | Authors: | Fortuna, Carlos | Keywords: | Estudios urbanos; Otras ciudades; Reforma epistémica; América Latina; Urban studies; Other cities; Epistemic reform; Latin America | Issue Date: | 2012 | Publisher: | Ibero-Amerikanisches Institut | Serial title, monograph or event: | Iberoamericana | Volume: | 12 | Issue: | 45 | Place of publication or event: | Berlin | Abstract: | Los profundos cambios en el ámbito urbano constituyen un desafío a las lecturas convencionales de las ciudades. Este trabajo aboga por una reformulación epistémica del conocimiento actual de la ciudad por la vía de (1) releer la ciudad de hoy a través de las disciplinas, y no dentro de ellas; (2) incluir en el cuadro a las ciudades pequeñas y medianas junto con las metrópolis, y (3) tomar en consideración las otras ciudades de los países del sur. Al final se presentan algunas contribuciones de América Latina a este esfuerzo. Profound changes in the urban realm are now challenging the conventional reading of cities. This paper argues for an epistemic reshaping of current urban knowledge by (1) re-reading today’s city across disciplines, not within them; (2) bringing small and mid-sized cities into the picture, alongside metropolises; and (3) taking the other cities of the global South into consideration. Some Latin American contributions to this endeavour are also considered. |
