SOUSA GONZALEZ, EDUARDO  and  ALVAREZ BERRONES, JORGE ALBERTO. THE URBAN TOPOGRAPHY OF THE CONTEMPORARY CITY. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2015, vol.64, n.158, pp.199-221. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v64n158.41074.

Urban reason, defined under psychoanalytic concepts transcended through the use of complex topologies in the generation of urban problems, develops our understanding of the paradoxes of the anti-city within the city, identity and non-identity, and marginalization and inclusion. The city is understood from the rapport of the urban environment, as its urban topology is discovered and its essential configuration subordinated to urbanism, in relation to collective consciousness. This understanding leads to an explanation and comprehension of the phenomena that help to understand identity, marginalization, and violence as urban phenomena.

Keywords : City; identity; marginalization; urbanism; violence.
