Abstract

Currently, it is considered that «the fundamental contemporary phenomenon is that of the city; This is offered to us every time more and more complex and rich, multiple in the subjective experiences that it produces and offers to its population. Thanks to this diversity, we know that we can not speak of a memory of a city, but of a plurality of memories, ranging from official ones - those that seek to fix the past around some founding myths - to the most free and nomadic, as those of the artistic creator », 1 and in whose studies the different social sciences work as forced constructs to understand contemporary societies.
