Animales liminales en la urbe
Espacios, resistencia y convivencia
Abstract
In this paper we mean to explore and problematize the coexistence between humans and wild animals in urban areas which, unlike domestic animals living together with humans and like companion animals, are ignored by most urban dwellers and even rejected and eradicated. We start with some conflicting cases of this coexistence, to then invetigate the work Zoopolis (Donaldson, Kymlicka, 2011) by Sue Donaldson and Will Kymlicka, and studies called "animal geographies" as they are studies based on the consideration of animals as beings capable of agency and that express their interests, hence the recognition and inclusion of animal behavior and its effects is fundamental to understand how humans build and inhabit urban spaces. Such studies allow us to think of another way of living in cities, one that eventually includes the animals that also live there. This leads us to consider urban spaces as mosaics of human / animal coexistence, with the ultimate goal of designing public policies that recognize animals as bearers of interests and rights holders.
