TY - THES A1 - Brasil, Daniela T1 - EXPERIMENTING WITH THE URBAN EXPERIENCE: Rio, Lisbon and Weimar. A (re)search for creative collaborations and active exercises of citizenship N2 - This practice-based research examines platforms and encounters that have a participatory character as a strategy to create lived and shared experiences where new forms of appropriation of the city can emerge. The selected case studies propose and initiate certain urban experiences that induce changes in perception, the exchange of perspectives, and that denaturalize habits and patterns of behavior. I suggest that when these sensitive experiences become imprinted in body memory, they can empower citizens to have more active, creative, and/or critical attitudes towards their environments. Searching for new repertoires of everyday practices that contest commodification of both the body and the city, this thesis is oriented towards open-ended processes of constructing mentalities rather than those of planning changes on the material conditions of public space. It uses forms of academic investigation that merge intellectual debate and experimental practice, joining art, urbanism and social engaged practices in an extradisciplinary (Howes 2007) attitude towards the city. Based on the materials generated by the case studies (combining theoretical knowledge with artistic sensibility), the affective and corporeal involvement of researchers in the situations they analyze and co-create, is sustained in opposition to the traditional academic critical distance. N2 - Esta investigação de base prática examina encontros e plataformas de base participativa como uma estratégia para criar vivências partilhadas onde novas formas de apropriação urbana possam ocorrer. Os estudos de caso selecionados propõem e iniciam certas experiências urbanas que induzem mudanças perceptivas, o intercâmbio de perspectivas e a desnaturalização de hábitos e padrões de comportamento. O trabalho sugere que, quando estas experiências são impressas na memória corporal dos participantes, estes poderão ser capacitados a ter atitudes mais ativas, creativas e/ou críticas em relação ao meio onde vivem. Buscando novos repertórios de práticas quotidianas que contestem a mercantilização do corpo e da cidade, esta tese está orientada aos processos abertos de construção de mentalidades ao invés do planejamento de alterações nas condições materiais do espaço público. São usadas formas de investigação acadêmica que dilui as fronteiras entre o debate intelectual e a prática experimental, unindo arte, urbanismo e práticas sociais numa atitude extradisciplinar (Howes 2007) em relação à cidade. Baseado em materias gerados pelos estudos de caso (combinando conhecimento teórico e sensibilidade artística), esta tese sustenta o envolvimento afetivo e corpóreo dos investigadores em situações que eles analisam e co-produzem, opondo-se assim à tradicional distância crítica acadêmica.

MILITARY PROPERTY AS REFERENCE N2 - The thesis concerns a work of urban history intended not to describe the city but rather to interpret it. By doing so, I have interpreted the city by means of the role played by the so-called ‘great property’ in the European city-making process during the last three decades of the 20th century, specifically focused on the concrete case of military properties in Italy. I have also considered the role played by other kinds of great properties, i.e. industries and railway, which previously acted in the production of the built environment in a different way respect to the military one. As all of them have as common denominator the fact of being ‘capital in land’, I analysed great industrial and railway properties in order to extrapolate a methodology which helped me to interpret the relationship between military properties and city-making process in Europe in the late 20th century. I have analysed the relationship between the capital in land and the city-making process on the ground of the understanding the interrelation between the great property, the urban development, and the agents involved in the urban and territorial planning. Here I have showed that urban planning is not the decisive factor influencing the citymaking process, but instead the power held by the capital in land. I have found that is the great property the trigger of the creation of new ‘areas of centrality’ intended as large areas for consumerism. As far as the role played by great property is concerned, I have also discovered that it has evolved over time. Originally, industrial and railway properties have been regenerated into a wide range of new profit-driven spaces; successively, I have found out that most of the regeneration of military premises aimed to materialise areas of centrality. The way of interpreting this factor has been based on focusing my attention on the military premises in Italy: I have classified their typology when they have been built and, most importantly, when they have been regenerated into new areas of centrality. N2 - El trabajo aborda el entendimiento del proceso de construcción de la ciudad europea durante el último tercio del siglo XX, desde el protagonismo y el papel ejercido por la Gran Propiedad, un nuevo concepto elaborado ad hoc dentro del Programa Europeo European Joint Doctorate “urbanHist” en especial, aquella que se identifica con las instalaciones militares en Italia. El intento es esbozar un planteamiento teórico que nos permita un entendimiento de los fenómenos que asisten al proceso de construcción histórico de las ciudades europeas. Bien entendido, que los presupuestos teóricos esbozados se verificarán, en un intento por elaborar una “praxis-teórica”, con ejemplos, casos estudio, extraídos de la realidad construida que identifica a algunas ciudades europeas.
