Abstract

ABSTRACT The paper analyzes the social life of the Bike Path Tim Maia, in the South Zone of Rio de Janeiro. Inaugurated in 2016, the equipment was hailed for offering not only new urban mobility alternatives, but also new framings for the oceanfront landscape. Such combination made the bike path a central element of a broader city project, with the harmonious relationship between humans and nature as one of its main axes. By following the process of ideation, construction, and inauguration of the equipment, as well as its successive collapses, the paper shows how this particular case allows us to reflect on important aspects of urban infrastructures from an anthropological point of view: their multiple timelines, the inextricable relationship between technique and politics, and the different cumulative city projects.
从“自行车观”到“自行车道至死”:城市基础设施的社会生活
本文分析了巴西里约热内卢南区Tim Maia自行车道的社会生活。该设备于2016年投入使用,不仅为城市交通提供了新的选择,还为海滨景观提供了新的框架。这样的结合使自行车道成为更广泛的城市项目的中心元素,人与自然的和谐关系是其主轴之一。通过跟踪设备的构思、建设和落成,以及它的连续倒塌的过程,论文展示了这个特殊的案例如何让我们从人类学的角度反思城市基础设施的重要方面:它们的多重时间线,技术与政治之间不可分割的关系,以及不同的累积城市项目。

期刊介绍: De maneira geral, os participantes do dossiê identificam a crise — precipitada por uma série de denúncias de clientelismo, corporativismo, nepotismo e corrupção, que afetou principalmente a imagem do Senado Federal —, com razões de fundo de ordem institucional e falta de sintonia com transformações em curso na sociedade nas últimas décadas. As razões apontadas incluem distorções da representação proporcional, crise de representatividade, distanciamento da população em relação aos partidos e instituições políticas, oligarquização das principais instituições parlamentares, sistema eleitoral ultrapassado, entre outros aspectos.
