Emotropolis, Times and Urban Rhythms: The Poetics of Space and the Emotionalization of Mexico City

Abstract

Introduction: In this world, it is necessary to connect inhabitants with their emotions, in a fractal, convivial and culturally diverse city like Mexico City, to face its challenges and give life to the right to enjoy it. Methodology: With a conceptualization based on “The poetics of space”, a transdisciplinary methodology nourished by complex thought and the theory of complex systems was implemented, to feel through art about this Emotrópolis, its emotional territorialization and with meaning in its times and urban rhythms. Results: This proposal for understanding the emotional dimension of urban life links territorialization with emotional memory and connection with the community, perceiving a sense of well-being that connects with the four elements of nature: earth, water, air and fire. Discussions: Thus, from the poetics of space, its times and rhythms of this fractal city, a knowledge of the border is constructed that faces its challenges by opening up to the poetic dimension of inhabiting the territory. Conclusions: By experiencing a perception of well-being, understood from the Mesoamerican worldview, which connects us through different emotional meanings with the sense of socio-territorial belonging to Mexico City, its functioning is unraveled.
