GRAVANO, Ariel. Theoretical drifts of the urban. For a critical view. Bitácora Urbano Territorial [online]. 2021, vol.31, n.3, pp.171-183.  Epub Sep 23, 2021. ISSN 0124-7913.  https://doi.org/10.15446/bitacora.v31n3.87499.

In this article I will show the theoretical drifts necessary for a critical vision of the urban. I emphasize some in vogue assumptions of the city concept: the dual city, the disputed city, the city in agony and the cultured city, which are configured from an ideological matrix that I will try to confront with a dialectical perspective. The proposals for theoretical drifts to be synthesized are: from dichotomous studies in the city to the dialectical problematization of the urban, from the theory of disputes to the theory of the appropriation of surpluses as the axis of the urban, from idealistic and agonizing homeostasis from the city to the dialectic of the historical-structural conflict of the urban public, and from legitimate culture to alternative culture.

Keywords : urban theory; theoretical drifts; the urban.
