cuidado atento, pombos ferais, libertação totalResumo
Neste artigo, acompanho as formas pelas quais as relações entre pombos e humanos podem ser reconceitualizadas, passando da exploração e invisibilização para uma convivência cuidadosa. Projetar espaços e cuidar dos pombos pode ser um caminho para a libertação animal e para cidades multiespécie. Proponho o conceito de cuidado atento como guia: um cuidado que aprende fazendo, atende ao chamado dos outros e engaja-se em um antropomorfismo crítico. Um exemplo específico é o pombal (contraceptivo), uma arquitetura problemática, porém familiar, tanto para humanos quanto para pombos. As relações que ele convoca poderiam libertar os pombos das violências e marginalizações (infra)estruturais atuais e abrir novas discussões e práticas de cuidado voltadas à libertação (total), se conduzidas sob um ethos antiespecista e feminista.
