Landscapes, rights, transdisciplinary (dis)assembly and health promotion between research and extension

Abstract

This article presents a series of reflections on a transdisciplinary extension project that we have been carrying out jointly with various organizations and institutions in the Alberdi neighborhood of the city of Córdoba (Argentina). These are dialectically centered around notions such as territory, space, (dis)assembly and transdisciplinary health promotion. Referring to territorial experiences of marked transformations of the neighborhood urban landscape, some organizations highlight the continuity of a process marked by public and private strategies of "recovery" of public spaces and promotion of cultural assets, which sustainably support, even without being their intention, a process of gentrification. Among the issues we propose to address are the relationships between "right to landscape", "right to the city", cultural and environmental rights and the right to health and to live in a healthy environment considering processes of socio-political, cultural, environmental and gender (in) equity. Ultimately, it will be pointed out that the provocation of the landscape is to place us before the responsibility of creating imaginations, political cosmologies, affections, commitments and discourses that open to the possibility of naming and making these rights effective; in order to enhance the (dis) assembly of notions appropriated by the governmentalized biopolitical power, in favor of biopolitics of the common.
