Abstract

This article is based on the dissertation “The occupy movement and the production of biopotent spaces in Belo Horizonte: between tracks and emergencies”. Developed between the years of 2013 and 2015, the study sought to investigate possible contributions of “a ocupação” movement for the raise, in the context of the city of Belo Horizonte, of biopotent spaces – or forms of spatial production that could differ from those based on the mere reproduction of capitalistic models. “A ocupação” movement took place on July 7, 2013 in the central area of Belo Horizonte. In the occasion, local artists and social movements occupied the area located beneath the Santa Tereza Viaduct through the promotion of several cultural activities. Thought in a collaborative and autonomous way, the event included a complex set of guidelines, actors and processes. In order to seek paths, within its dynamics, to the raise of other possible spaces in the city, a methodological challenge has been imposed at the outset: we had to find a method that would not deflate the act from its characteristic multiplicity – feature in which we thought resided its biopotent character. For that, we based our analysis on the idea of “cartography” – as proposed by Felix Guattari and Gilles Deleuze in the book “A Thousand Plateaus” (1995) – and we built the research through three different axis: “Clues”, “Traces” and “Emergencies”. In this article our aim is to address the first one – which confronts precisely this methodological challenge. For that we will firstly introduce the concepts of rhizome, cartography, Hodos-metá and transversality to outline, then, the specific tactics we used in the development of what we have named “transversal co-production”.
