class="hps"><span style="font-family: Times;">present</span></span> <span class="hps"><span style="font-family: Times;">a part</span></span> <span class="hps"><span style="font-family: Times;">of my</span></span> <span class="hps"><span style="font-family: Times;">research experience,</span></span> <span class="hps"><span style="font-family: Times;">and</span></span> <span class="hps"><span style="font-family: Times;">I focus</span></span> <span class="hps"><span style="font-family: Times;">on</span></span> <span class="hps"><span style="font-family: Times;">the</span></span> <span

a&ntilde;os llegu&eacute; a Barcelona con una intenci&oacute;n firme que pasados unos dos meses tuve que echar por tierra. Quer&iacute;a estudiar a la gente cruzando la calle en esta ciudad y luego comparar sus actos con los de la gente de mi ciudad de origen, Caracas. Mis evaluadores, apenas se enteraron de mi prop&oacute;sito, me desaconsejaron, ya que comparar requer&iacute;a de un tiempo que no ten&iacute;a. Deb&iacute;a dedicarme s&oacute;lo a una de las ciudades. Escog&iacute; Barcelona. M&aacute;s tarde, en una segunda consulta, volvieron a desaconsejarme: en lugar de estudiar a la gente que cruza la calle, me recomendaban que tomara como punto de partida el sem&aacute;foro; espec&iacute;ficamente, el cambio de luz y si era posible la luz misma. Esta especie de atomizaci&oacute;n del inter&eacute;s, en lugar de amilanarme, redefini&oacute; y acicate&oacute; mi entusiasmo cogitativo, y con ese impulso emprend&iacute; la tarea de elaborar un diario de campo. Como no se pod&iacute;a hacer eso de una manera ingenua, tom&eacute; la decisi&oacute;n de asumir una mirada y luego una escritura sesgada por algunas de las nociones de la Teor&iacute;a del Actor-Red tal como las plantea Bruno Latour. Su manera de ver el mundo, m&aacute;s que recibirla como un conjunto sistem&aacute;tico de conceptos, la he incorporado muy lentamente como un dispositivo de imaginaci&oacute;n, es decir, como una serie de formas que promueven y facilitan la re-creaci&oacute;n de los acontecimientos mundanos. En este ensayo hablo brevemente de parte de esa experiencia investigativa, centr&aacute;ndome en una idea que para m&iacute; no deja de ser fascinante: es posible componer un mundo com&uacute;n, un cosmos, partiendo de una entidad aparentemente discreta; en mi caso, el sem&aacute;foro. |
