SALCEDO, MARÍA TERESA. FISONOMÍAS DE LO PÚBLICO Y LO PRIVADO EN BOGOTÁ: IDENTIDAD Y PERCEPCIÓN EN ESPACIOS URBANOS. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2003, vol.39, pp.41-70. ISSN 0486-6525.

THIS TEXT ELABORATES THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PRACTICES OF SENSORY PERCEPTION, bodily habits, representation and cultural difference in Bogotá's urban spaces. Of theoretical significance here are the notions of "mimesis and alterity" as they are deployed in recent post-structural approaches to a social, cultural and historical understanding of everyday life, pointing towards the embodiment of this appearance as a perceptual practice of dispositions. Urban life, its utterances and "senses of place" appear here in a context of "heteroglossia" where the representation of language asserts the difference as well as the similarities found between the ethnographer's and the informants' data and various class habitus.

Keywords : sensory perception; appearance; spatial representation; habitus; identity; mimesis; alterity; historical unconscious; heteroglossia.
