description The article tackles the issues of perception, meaning and interpretation of the city by its own inhabitants, bringing out the importance of place, public space and urban settings in the identity and mental images of people walking and living in the city, given that everyone relates to it in its own particular way and each individual reads, interprets, comprehends and re-signifies it differently. To achieve this, the article turns up for microhistory, since it relays on the importance and validity of small events taking place in city streets to comprehend urban life in depth. It also studies the relationship between art and the city, in view of the fact that artists cast in their works their own vision of the urban, disclosing through them their individual metropolis, meaning, the one they perceive and interpret, becoming the spokesperson of the mass of anonymous inhabitants. The article concludes, amid several things, that art functions as an indicator to truly understand the city as a whole, as long as those who plan it decide to take such knowledge into account.

El artículo aborda el tema de la percepción, el significado y la interpretación de la ciudad, por parte de sus habitantes. Se destaca la importancia del lugar, del espacio público y el entorno urbano en el imaginario y la identidad de quienes la habitan o transitan; dado que cada individuo, de acuerdo a las relaciones que establece con la urbe, la resignifica, la lee, la interpreta, la comprende. Se alude a la microhistoria, pues sus postulados plantean la importancia y la validez del estudio de los pequeños acontecimientos que se desarrollan en las calles de las ciudades, y recalcan la importancia de esa lectura minuciosa del acontecer y la vida urbana para la comprensión profunda de la ciudad. Se analiza la relación arte-ciudad, puesto que los artistas proyectan en las obras de arte su propia visión de la ciudad, develando a través de ellas, su urbe individual, la que perciben, la que interpretan, y por ende, se constituyen en los voceros de una masa de habitantes anónimos. Se concluye, entre otras cosas, que el arte, en sus múltiples expresiones y formas actuales, es un indicador, un termómetro, que puede aportar mucho a la verdadera e integral forma de comprender la ciudad, siempre y cuando, quienes analizan la ciudad, lo tengan en cuenta. 2012-12-14 2024-10-10T02:29:15Z 2024-10-10T02:29:15Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo revisado por pares http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501 http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85 https://revistas.uan.edu.co/index.php/nodo/article/view/76 https://repositorio.uan.edu.co/handle/123456789/10545 spa https://revistas.uan.edu.co/index.php/nodo/article/view/76/59 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2 application/pdf UNIVERSIDAD ANTONIO NARIÑO REVISTA NODO; Vol. 7 Núm. 13 (2012); 57 - 66 2346-092X 1909-3888
