Is isolation necessary?Alterity and urban isolation in the subjectivities production processes

Abstract

The present article aims to discuss and problematize the subjectivity production, articulating literary work, its form of construction and description, and the tensions arising from the daily encounter with the otherness. The objective is to analyze contexts which valorize urban isolation, reflecting on its effects, as an individualization of the forms of relation and restriction of the possibilities of affecting and being affected by others, as well as an emergence of new ways of being in society. The discussion is how the processes in the ‘existing territories’ leads to the maintenance of the habitual behavior or to its transformation by the diversity.

Keywords:
alterity; subjectivity production; urbanization processes; isolation; existential territories
