Os saberes do urbano contemporâneo: reflexões sobre práticas interdisciplinares na produção do conhecimento urbano

Abstract

Propose thoughts about how the production of knowledge in urban field can qualify itself by the discussions that characterize the contemporary urban as a concept that goes beyond a territory or a specific spatial morphology. For this, the thoughts presented in this work are articulated with alternative and complimentary forms of producing scientific knowledge such as the interdisciplinarity. In this sense, we use the predictions of Henri Lefebvre, in the 1970s, as a starting point to compare his harbingers over an urban society in emergency with the evidence of an urban transition period that takes place nowadays. By understanding the complexity of this new urban, it is believed that the interdisciplinary practices of knowledge can transgress to some extent the limitations of the hegemonic scientific paradigm based on the fragmentation of knowledge in favor of a more integrated and connected one founded in a variety of intrinsic knowledge pertaining to this contemporary urban field in development.
